EDITORS COMMENTS

The term "aedicula" refers to a small architectural structure, often in the form of a shrine or niche, that is used to house religious or sacred objects. Throughout history, these aediculas have been found in various locations and have served different purposes. One example of an they are be seen in the Palatium Valerianu[m], as depicted in a plate from around 1530-50. This reconstructed building showcases the intricate design and craftsmanship that went into creating such structures. Recent discoveries at Pompeii have also revealed several aediculas. In one engraving, we get a glimpse of the House of the Tragic Poet, where an they are be seen adorning its walls. This serves as evidence of how important these structures were to ancient Roman society. Moving beyond Rome, views in Bracciano show us another type - this time located within the castle and town on Lake Bracciano. These structures not only added beauty to their surroundings but also held significance for those who worshipped there. In Emile Gsell's photographs from 1866, we see two more grand pagodas with intricate edicules - one on the northern side and another on the exterior south side. These demonstrate how diverse cultures across time and space incorporated similar architectural elements into their religious practices. Jerusalem holds great importance for many religions, including Christianity. The Tomb of Christ at The Holy Sepulchre features an awe-inspiring edicule that draws pilgrims from all over the world. Similarly, priests using incense within Jerusalem's boundaries further highlight how integral these structures are to spiritual rituals. Even outside Italy and Israel, other places like Baalbek showcase stunning ancient edicules dedicated to deities like Jupiter Heliopolitanus. These sanctuaries serve as reminders that throughout history people sought divine connection through the construction of these sacred structures.
