EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lupanar and the Twins: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Society". This print showcases a remarkable relief from a marble urn, which was exhibited in the prestigious Mostra Augustea held in Rome between 1937 and 1938. Now carefully conserved in the Stockholm Museum, this low relief basrelief offers us an intriguing glimpse into ancient civilization. Dating back to the 3rd century AD, this artwork depicts a scene rich with symbolism and historical significance. At its center lies a wolf, representing both power and protection, surrounded by terrestrial mammals that symbolize life's interconnectedness. The cave-like backdrop serves as a reminder of our deep connection to natural elements and phenomena. What truly captivates viewers is the portrayal of human figures—a nude female holding two children who are unmistakably twins. This depiction hints at family dynamics, civil status, society, politics, and even origins within ancient Roman culture. It evokes thoughts of Romulus and Remus—the legendary brothers who founded Rome—adding another layer of historical depth. The presence of vegetation further emphasizes Europe's lush landscape during ancient times while also alluding to growth and renewal. The inclusion of trees signifies stability rooted in Roman artistry. Photographed by Alinari Fratelli during the same period as the exhibition itself (1937-1938), this image captures not only artistic mastery but also provides valuable insights into history's annals. It invites contemplation on themes such as sibling relationships, societal structures prevalent during those times, as well as humanity's intricate relationship with nature. As we marvel at this extraordinary piece from ancient civilization through Alinari Fratelli's lens today let us appreciate its ability to transport us back centuries ago—to an era where art served as both mirror and storyteller for societies long gone.
