EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Janus and Civilisation - The Eternal God of Transitions and the Dawn of Italian Civilisation Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, transitions, time, duality, doorways, and endings, is depicted in this image as the embodiment of the classical spirit that brought civilisation to Italy. With a serene expression and an intriguing duality, Janus stands before an expansive landscape, symbolising the practical skills, sciences, and arts that transformed ancient Italy. Janus, often depicted as having two faces, one looking forward and the other backward, represents the idea of change and the cyclical nature of time. This duality is a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing the past while looking towards the future. Janus's association with transitions and new beginnings makes him an essential figure in the mythology of ancient Rome and a potent symbol of the transformative power of civilisation. The god's presence in this image is a testament to the profound impact of civilisation on the Italian peninsula. The practical skills, sciences, and arts that Janus is credited with bringing to Italy laid the foundations for the development of a complex and sophisticated society. This transformation is evident in the rich cultural heritage that Italy has bequeathed to the world, including its art, architecture, literature, and philosophy. Janus and Civilisation is an evocative and thought-provoking image that invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of the Roman god and the profound influence of civilisation on the Italian landscape and its people. This print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in classical mythology, ancient Rome, and the history of civilisation.
