EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bust of Commodus, transformed into the mighty Hercules. Dating back to 180-193 AD, this remarkable piece of Roman art is housed in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy. Commodus, as Hercules, stands as a symbol of strength and heroism. The artist skillfully captures his powerful presence through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. Adorned with a lion's skin draped over his shoulder and holding a club in his hand, he embodies the essence of this legendary mythological figure. The sculpture not only reflects ancient mythology but also serves as a testament to Commodus' reign as emperor during the Roman Age. It reveals how he sought to associate himself with divine heroes like Hercules to solidify his authority and project an image of invincibility. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and opulence that once defined ancient Rome. This photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. With its rich history, archaeological importance, and undeniable beauty, this print serves as a window into a bygone era—a reminder of our enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for power and immortality.
