EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Roman mills for olives and grain, with a cylindrical vase" takes us back to the ancient city of Pompeii in 1802. The print showcases three Roman mills used for grinding olives and grains, along with a cylindrical vase that possibly stored water for domestic use. Created by Lorenzo Roccheggiani, an active artist during the early 19th century, this engraving is part of his collection called "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans". It was later transformed into a copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the ornate design of these ancient Roman mills. Each millstone and millwheel is meticulously depicted to showcase their functionality in food production. The cylindrical vase adds an interesting touch to the composition while providing insight into daily life practices during that era. The monochromatic nature of this print enhances its antique charm while allowing viewers to focus on the fine lines and textures present throughout. This piece serves as both a decorative accessory and historical artifact that transports us back to ancient Rome's rich culture. Displayed within private collections today, this engraving offers art enthusiasts a glimpse into Italy's past through its depiction of essential objects from antiquity.
