EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Inaugural Sacrificial Procession" a remarkable relief frieze carved on the exterior of the north or south wall of the altar. Created between 13-9 BC, this masterpiece is crafted from exquisite Carrara marble and resides in the prestigious Museum of Ara Pacis in Rome, Italy. The artwork was dedicated to pietas (piety) and commemorates the Pax Romana (Roman peace) established by Augustus on July 4th, 13 BC. It stands as a testament to his reign as emperor and his commitment to maintaining harmony within the empire. Intricately designed with classical elements, including Greek key patterns and imperial family portraits, this relief frieze captures the essence of Augustan classicism. The central figure depicted is Octavian, also known as Augustus, who holds a prominent position among equals. The procession portrayed in this artwork symbolizes power and unity within Roman society. Clad in togas, members of the imperial family accompany Augustus during this ceremonial event. Their presence emphasizes their role in upholding tradition and ensuring stability for future generations. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Roman history. This print serves as a reminder of Rome's grandeur and its enduring legacy that continues to inspire awe even today.
