"Exploring the Fascinating Periodo Antico: A Glimpse into Ancient Rome and Greece" Step back in time with these captivating engravings and artworks that depict various aspects of the periodo antico, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Rome and Greece. In one scene, we witness the power dynamics as captured enemies are harnessed by their Roman conquerors. The triumphal procession in the Roman Forum showcases grandeur and celebration amidst architectural marvels like the Parthenon in Athens' Acropolis. The manufacturing and selling of books highlight an intellectual side to ancient societies, emphasizing their thirst for knowledge. Meanwhile, a Proto-Lucanian volute krater adorned with red figures transports us to ancient Greek pottery workshops where skilled artisans brought clay to life. Moving beyond peaceful scenes, we delve into darker episodes such as St. Columba's decapitation depicted on a 14th-century panel painting. This somber artwork reminds us of religious conflicts that shaped historical narratives during this period. The Carthaginians take center stage in another engraving depicting a thrilling lion hunt—a testament to their bravery and prowess as hunters. Similarly, we witness Emperor-led culling of wild beasts within amphitheaters—an enthralling spectacle enjoyed by Romans seeking entertainment. An acroterial disc from Fratte di Salerno reveals intricate craftsmanship featuring Heracles battling the Nemean Lion—a symbol of strength immortalized through artistry. Additionally, Titus Manlius Torquatus armed with a knife demonstrates familial loyalty while defending his father against accusations made by Marcus Pomponius. Lastly, criminal punishment takes an unforgiving turn as criminals face ferocious animals within arenas—highlighting both justice served but also brutal realities faced during this era. And finally, we encounter tragedy through Olympias' murder—the mother of Alexander the Great—who met her untimely end amidst political turmoil.
