EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the archaic period of Ancient Rome, showcasing a temple built under the lapis niger, or black stone, in the Roman forum. This remarkable structure bears witness to one of the oldest inscriptions in Latin and provides a glimpse into Italy's rich history during the 6th century BC. The image captures both the grandeur and mystery surrounding this ancient temple. The intricate details of its architecture are beautifully preserved, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship of Roman builders from centuries past. The lapis niger itself adds an air of mystique, as it is believed to have held religious significance for early Romans. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time. We imagine bustling crowds filling the Roman forum, their voices echoing against these sacred walls. We envision worshippers seeking solace within this hallowed space and scholars deciphering the earliest forms of written language etched onto its surface. Giancarlo Costa's masterful photography skillfully captures not only a historical artifact but also a sense of wonderment that comes with exploring ancient ruins. Through his lens, we are reminded that even after thousands of years, remnants like this temple continue to inspire awe and ignite our curiosity about civilizations long gone. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and connection with our past. It invites us to delve deeper into Ancient Rome's fascinating story while appreciating its architectural marvels that still stand today.
