EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Caecilia Moscichies Altar Stone: A Glimpse into the Ancient Roman Civilization of Spain (2nd Century AD)" 2. Description: This evocative image showcases an intricately carved Roman altar stone, hailing from the ancient city of Merida in the Spanish province of Badajoz. Dated back to the 2nd century AD, this funerary monument holds a significant historical value, bearing the inscription "Caecilia Moscichies." The altar stone is currently housed in the National Museum of Roman Art in Merida, Spain. 3. Context: The Roman Empire's influence on the Iberian Peninsula, particularly in the region of Hispania, is profoundly evident through discoveries like this Caecilia Moscichies altar stone. This monument serves as a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place between the Romans and the indigenous populations during the Roman occupation. 4. Details: The altar stone, made of stone, displays numerals and inscriptions, which were common in Roman funerary monuments. The inscription "Caecilia Moscichies" is believed to be the name of the deceased, with "Caecilia" being a common Roman family name and "Moscichies" possibly indicating an ethnic or tribal affiliation. The numerals, likely denoting the age or number of years of the deceased, add to the monument's historical significance. 5. Historical Significance: The Caecilia Moscichies altar stone provides valuable insights into the Roman civilization that once flourished in Spain. It underscores the integration of diverse cultures and the adoption of Roman customs, such as the use of Latin inscriptions and Roman-style funerary monuments, by the local population. This discovery contributes to our understanding of the complex history of the Roman Empire and its impact on Europe.
