EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in Roman history and mythology. The image showcases the western wall of the Ara Pacis, a magnificent marble altar dedicated to the goddess of Peace, Pax, built in 9 BC to commemorate Augustus' military achievements. At first glance, it appears to depict Aeneas sacrificing a pig to the household deities known as Penates. However, scholars now believe that this scene actually portrays Numa Pompilius, the revered Roman king known for his religious reforms and establishment of various rituals. The intricate details of this relief sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully conveys the solemnity and significance of this ritualistic act through careful attention to every element – from the architectural pilasters framing the scene to the ornate decorative elements adorning them. The presence of pigs in this artwork symbolizes fertility and abundance in ancient Roman culture. It serves as a reminder that sacrifices were made not only for religious purposes but also as offerings for prosperity and well-being. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of Roman society – their deep-rooted belief system intertwined with mythological tales. This piece stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical importance within classical architecture.
