EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a detail from the grand frieze that once adorned the central building of Trajan's Forum in Rome, completed in the year 112 AD. The intricately carved relief, now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany, showcases the triumphant Victory goddesses decorating candelabras while sacrificing bulls. The scene is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of the Roman civilization during the 2nd century AD. The central figure, Victory, is depicted as a winged goddess, poised to throw a javelin at a bull, symbolizing the victory of Rome over its enemies. Accompanying her are other Victory goddesses, each engaged in the act of decorating candelabras with intricate designs. The candelabras, with their elaborate branches and ornate leaves, represent the abundance and prosperity brought about by Rome's victories. The sacrifice of the bulls, a common ritual in ancient Roman religion, underscores the importance of the agricultural and fertility aspects of their faith. The scene is a visual representation of the interconnectedness of war, victory, and the bounty of the earth in the Roman worldview. This masterpiece of Roman art, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and complexity of the Roman Empire during its golden age. The relief's preservation in the Glyptothek in Munich ensures that future generations can continue to marvel at the artistic and historical achievements of ancient Rome.
