EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Funerary Urn, dating from the 1st to 2nd century AD, is a prime example of Early Imperial Roman art from the Iberian Peninsula, now on display at the National Museum of Archaeology in Madrid, Spain. The intricately carved marble relief depicts various scenes from Roman mythology and daily life, reflecting the cultural fusion that occurred during the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. The Italians and Romans, who had a profound influence on the art and culture of the region, are evident in the urn's design. The relief is adorned with images of gods and goddesses, such as Jupiter, Juno, and Mercury, as well as scenes of hunting, fishing, and banquets. These motifs were popular in Roman art during the Early Empire and were believed to bring good fortune and ensure a prosperous afterlife for the deceased. The urn's intricate carvings demonstrate the high level of skill and craftsmanship of Roman artists during this period. The urn's provenance is from Lazio, Italy, and it is thought to have been produced in Rome itself. The urn's journey to Spain is a testament to the extensive trade and cultural exchange that occurred between the Roman Empire and the Iberian Peninsula during this time. The urn's presence in the National Museum of Archaeology in Madrid is a reminder of the rich history and cultural connections between Europe and the Roman Empire.
