EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Rome, a miraculous flame bursts forth from the temple of the goddess Bona Dea, the protector of fertility and abundance. The temple, located in the heart of the city, was a sacred place where the Vestal Virgins, the priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, tended the eternal flame. The year was 63 BC, and the mysterious flame, which seemed to appear out of thin air, was a sight that left the people of Rome in awe. The Vestal Virgins, interpreting the event as a divine sign, believed that the flame was a favorable portent for the renowned orator and statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero. Cicero, a man of great intellect and eloquence, had recently been appointed as the consul of Rome, and the Vestal Virgins believed that the flame was a sign of the gods' approval of his leadership. However, the truth behind the mysterious flame was probably much more mundane. Historians believe that the flame was most likely caused by a gas leak or some other natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, the belief in the miraculous nature of the flame persisted, and it added to the legend and mystique surrounding Cicero's tenure as consul. This image, captured from the annals of history, offers a glimpse into the paranormal beliefs and superstitions of ancient Rome. The flame, now long extinguished, continues to intrigue and fascinate scholars and history buffs alike, reminding us of the enduring power of the human imagination. This photograph is a historical record of an event that took place over 2,000 years ago, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of ancient Rome. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving history and the stories that shape our understanding of the past.
