EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Rome, transporting us back in time to a bustling money-changer shop. The relief of a sarcophagus in Palazzo Salviati at the Lungara of Rome takes center stage, showcasing intricate Roman artistry from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. Displayed at the Augustan Exhibition of Roman spirit in Rome during 1937-1938, this artwork is a testament to Europe's rich ancient civilization. The low relief bas-relief depicts an exchange office within its architectural structure, offering a glimpse into financial transactions and daily life during that period. The scene comes alive with figures dressed in traditional costumes and clothing, evoking a sense of authenticity and historical accuracy. A person sits behind a desk or counter, diligently attending to their work and vocation as customers engage in monetary exchanges nearby. The bench serves as both seating for visitors and storage for various objects related to currency exchange. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this moment frozen in time through their lens, emphasizing the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. Their photograph not only showcases remarkable craftsmanship but also invites viewers on an immersive journey into ancient Rome's vibrant marketplace. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how art can transcend centuries and continents, connecting us with civilizations long gone. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernity's rapid progressions, there is immense value in cherishing our past and understanding where we come from.
