EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an ancient Roman sculptural fragment housed in the Archeological Museum of Istria, located in the enchanting city of Pula, Croatia. The artwork depicted is a remarkable portrayal of the Emperor and a Dacian prisoner, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship that defined Roman art. Dating back to approximately 1938, this image offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich history and ancient civilization. The sculpture itself dates from around 1st century BC to 4th century AD, representing an era filled with power struggles and political intrigue. The focus of this print lies on the lower body parts - specifically footwear and legs - highlighting their significance as symbols of fashion, clothing, and social status during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even in antiquity, personal style played a role in expressing one's position within society. Moreover, this fragment also sheds light on the complex dynamics between conquerors and captives. The Dacian prisoner stands nude beside the Emperor – his defeated adversary – symbolizing both triumph over enemies and subjugation of conquered peoples. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this momentous piece through their lens; their expertise evident in every detail showcased within this photograph. Their work allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind such sculptures but also provides insight into historical events that shaped our world today. As we gaze upon this image from Alinari Fratelli's collection without commercial intent or affiliation mentioned here let us be transported back centuries ago when empires rose and fell while appreciating how art can preserve fragments of history for generations to come.
