EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the early 19th century transports us back in time to the magnificent Baths of Caracalla in Rome. The artist, unknown but undoubtedly talented, has skillfully captured the grandeur and architectural beauty of this ancient Roman landmark. The image showcases a sprawling complex with multiple pools and structures, providing a glimpse into the opulent leisure activities enjoyed by Romans during the late antique period. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every column and arch is meticulously rendered. One can almost imagine strolling through these baths, feeling the warmth emanating from the thermal waters that were an integral part of Roman culture. The presence of fireplaces suggests that heating systems were employed to maintain a comfortable temperature within these vast spaces. Hygiene was highly valued in ancient Rome, and these baths served not only as places for relaxation but also for cleansing rituals. It's fascinating to see how even toilets are incorporated into this architectural marvel. Giancarlo Costa's print allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such an intricate engraving and gain insight into life during antiquity. This piece serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us of our connection to history through physical remnants like these extraordinary thermal baths.
