EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Hekateion, a marble sculpture dating back to the 1st century AD. Standing at a height of 37.8 cm, this masterpiece is housed in a private collection and offers an intriguing glimpse into ancient Roman art. The focal point of this artwork lies in its depiction of three maidens, forming the trinity of the goddess Hekate. Each maiden stands with her back to a central column, identical in appearance and adorned with a modius atop her head. Their hair is elegantly pulled up, cascading tendrils gracefully falling along their shoulders. Dressed in high-belted peplos robes, these ethereal figures exude divine grace and power. With their weight shifted onto their left legs and right legs bent, they strike an elegant pose that emanates strength and femininity simultaneously. In one hand, each maiden holds an attribute while lowering her other hand to cradle a torch. A small dog sits obediently by their side, gazing up at them with unwavering loyalty. Resting on an integral circular base, this sculpture not only represents religious devotion but also serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. The Hekateion encapsulates the rich mythology surrounding deities like Hekate while offering us insight into ancient Roman culture and beliefs.
