EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the ancient Roman world, specifically focusing on the household gods known as Lares. The image depicts a Lararium shrine, where these revered deities were worshipped and honored by families in their homes. Two young men, believed to be genii of Augustus, stand before the shrine dressed in tunics and coturn sandals, holding drinking horns. The scene is set against the backdrop of Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town that was famously preserved under layers of volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD. This remarkable find offers us a window into the daily rituals and beliefs of Roman society during this period. In addition to showcasing the Lares in their sacred space, this print also includes another intriguing element: a Lustratio purification rite featuring a dairy cow depicted on a marble bas-relief found in Otricoli. This further emphasizes the importance placed on religious practices within Roman culture. With its handcoloured copperplate engraving style and attention to detail, this illustration by Corsi transports us back in time to witness both historical events and fashionable attire from centuries past. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring not only ancient Rome but also the diverse costumes worn by people throughout history worldwide.
