EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient civilization - a plaster cast of the column of Marcus Aurelius. Dating back to the 2nd century A. D. , this detailed carving depicts the use of fire during a siege, offering us a glimpse into Roman warfare strategies. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, with intricate bas relief carvings that bring history to life. The focal point is an exquisite sculpture of a horse, beautifully captured in its full frame glory. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every minute detail and stroke of artistry. As we delve deeper into this image, we discover more elements that make it even more fascinating. A cart can be seen in the background, adding another layer to our understanding of ancient Rome's military operations. Additionally, there is a male likeness portrayed on the column, presumably Marcus Aurelius himself. What makes this artwork so special is its ability to convey both human and animal representation without any actual people present in the scene. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and storytelling capabilities prevalent during that era. This photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG) not only captures an important historical artifact but also invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations and their enduring impact on our world today.
