EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the mesmerizing "Apotheosis of Antoninus and Faustina" a relief on the base of the Column of Antoninus, which was prominently displayed at the Mostra Augustea in Rome during 1937-1938. Currently housed in the prestigious Vatican Museums, this remarkable artwork transports viewers back to ancient times. The relief depicts a male figure, possibly representing Emperor Antoninus Pius, accompanied by a female figure believed to be his wife, Faustina. Both figures are depicted with great detail and precision, showcasing their regal stature and divine presence. The male figure stands tall and majestic while holding an obelisk symbolizing power and authority. On either side of them are eagles soaring through the sky, embodying strength and freedom. The composition is rich with symbolism from Greco-Roman mythology; it evokes an atmosphere of grandeur that characterized the imperial period. The nude human bodies exude gracefulness as they intertwine with abstract concepts such as allegory and symbolism. Intriguingly, amidst this scene lies a winged creature resembling a bird—a subtle reminder of nature's connection to divinity within Roman artistry. Dating back to 161 AD during the Antonine period—an era known for its artistic achievements—this masterpiece exemplifies Europe's ancient civilization at its zenith. Its inclusion in the Mostra Augustea further solidified its significance as one of Rome's most treasured relics. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1938, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail preserved over centuries. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history, artistry, mythologies—and above all—the timeless beauty found within these remnants of our past.
