EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Altar of Vicomagistri, a remarkable artifact from ancient Roman civilization. Standing at a height of 105 cm, this altar depicts a vivid sacrifice scene featuring four magistrates who were responsible for overseeing the streets of the Viculus Aesculetus. Created during the 1st century B. C. to 1st century A. D. , it offers us a glimpse into the rich history and cultural practices of that era. The intricate carving on this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, from the majestic mammal and cattle representations to the wild boar symbolizing strength and power. The male and female likenesses in traditional clothing further enhance its authenticity. As we admire this bas relief artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Roman legal history. The altar serves as a testament to their sophisticated legal system, with judges presiding over matters concerning law and order. Displayed indoors, this archaeological treasure holds immense historical significance. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient civilizations and their customs while reminding us of our connection to the past. With its focus on foreground elements and absence of human figures, this photograph allows us to fully appreciate every aspect of this magnificent piece without any distractions. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time, bridging gaps between different eras and cultures through its enduring beauty.
