EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of the Roman period in Great Britain, showcasing two Roman Britto priestesses in front of the temples of Minerva and Sul-Minerva in Bath. One priestess is depicted in ancient fashion, with bare breasts and a white linen gown adorned with a girdle of brassels, while the other is dressed in a later Roman tunic with zigzag borders over a long petticoat.
The intricate details captured by artist Robert Havell from an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith offer a fascinating look into the clothing and customs of this time period. The hand-colored aquatint brings to life the unique blend of ancient British and Roman influences present in these priestesses' attire.
As they stand before the majestic temples, one can almost feel transported back to the 1st to 5th century when these priestesses would have carried out their sacred duties within these hallowed walls. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the Roman occupation of Britain, leaving behind traces that continue to fascinate us centuries later.
