EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the ancient Roman custom of sacrificing an ox before the statue of Jupiter, the king of the gods in Roman mythology. The scene takes place in an open-air temple or forum, where the sacred altar and the imposing statue of Jupiter are the focal points. The ox, adorned with garlands and wreaths, is led to the altar by a priest or a Roman magistrate, dressed in traditional toga and wearing the lituus, the curved staff of his office. The animal's eyes are wide with fear, as it senses the imminent end. The priest or magistrate holds a knife, ready to perform the sacrifice. The act of sacrificing an ox was believed to ensure the favor of Jupiter and to secure the prosperity and protection of the Roman people. The smoke rising from the altar, the blood on the sacrificial knife, and the solemn expressions of the participants all add to the atmospheric and authentic feel of the scene. This powerful and moving photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and complex religious practices of ancient Rome, providing a fascinating window into the past.
