EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Roman head of God Serapis, dating back to the 2nd century AD. Carved from marble, this ancient sculpture is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the Romans during this time period.
The head of God Serapis is a striking representation of Roman mythology and society, showcasing the fusion of Greek and Egyptian influences in Roman art. With his bearded face and curly locks, Serapis exudes an air of wisdom and power, embodying the ideals of divinity in ancient Rome.
Located in the National Museum of Roman Art in Merida, Spain, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Europe during antiquity. The city itself was once known as Emerita Augusta, reflecting its importance as a center for Roman civilization in Hispania.
As we gaze upon this mythological deity frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by the ancient Romans. Their artistry continues to captivate us centuries later, serving as a window into their beliefs and values. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art that transcends time.
