EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of Roman keys from the 1st century, discovered in Alesia, France. Alesia was once the capital of the Mandubii tribe, who were allies of the Gallic tribe known as the Aedui. However, during the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar conquered this Celtic oppidum and transformed it into a thriving Gallo-Roman town. These ancient keys are made of iron and offer a glimpse into the remarkable craftsmanship of Roman metalwork. The image beautifully captures their intricate design and historical significance. Each key represents not only an object used for practical purposes but also serves as a symbol of power and control. The photograph transports us back in time to witness these artifacts firsthand. It is evident that they have withstood centuries while retaining their original charm. The vibrant colors bring life to these aged objects, reminding us that history is not merely black and white. This studio shot by CM Dixon allows us to appreciate every detail meticulously preserved on these keys. As we admire them, we can't help but ponder about their past owners - what doors did they unlock? What secrets did they guard? With its rich historical context and stunning visual appeal, this print invites us to delve deeper into our fascination with ancient civilizations and reminds us that even small objects can carry immense stories within them.
