EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Foro Boario in Rome, showcasing two remarkable temples from ancient times. The first temple, known as the Temple of Portunus but also referred to as the "Temple of Fortuna Virile" stands tall with its majestic columns and intricate architectural details. Its impressive facade is a testament to Roman artistry and craftsmanship during the Republican Period. Adjacent to it, we see another magnificent structure called the Temple of Ercole Vincitore or commonly known as the "temple of Vesta". This temple exudes an aura of mystery and reverence with its imposing presence. The photographer skillfully captures both temples in one frame, allowing us to appreciate their harmonious coexistence within this historical site. Dating back to II-I secc. , these temples are remnants of an ancient civilization that once thrived in Europe. They serve as a reminder of Rome's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to Western civilization. The photograph itself was taken between 1923-1933 by an unidentified author associated with Alinari. It showcases not only their technical prowess but also their deep appreciation for archaeological finds and monuments. Through this image, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the splendor and magnificence that once graced these sacred grounds. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries worth of history within a single frame. It serves as a visual testimony to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and reminds us that even through photographs, we can connect with our past on a profound level.
