EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the ruins of the Arch of Septimus Severus, a monumental testament to ancient Roman triumph, standing proudly at the end of the Roman Forum in the 18th century. Dating back to the 3rd century, the Arch was erected to commemorate the Parthian Victories of Roman Emperor Septimus Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta. The archway, adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, once served as a grand entrance to the sacred precinct of the Roman Forum. The Arch of Septimus Severus is a significant archaeological site, bearing witness to the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Rome. In this photograph, taken circa 1760, the archway stands in a state of partial ruin, a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire. The image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the grand processions and celebrations that once took place beneath its arches. The Roman Forum, the political and social heart of ancient Rome, is home to numerous historic sites and monuments, each with its own unique story to tell. The Arch of Septimus Severus, with its intriguing history and architectural beauty, continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering a window into the past and a connection to the ancient world.
