EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grand entrance to the home of Sallust in Pompeii, a Roman historian and politician who left his mark on ancient Italy. The intricate details of the architecture showcase the wealth and power that Sallust possessed during his time in the Roman Senate.
The image transports us back to 19th century Europe, where artists sought to preserve the beauty and history of Pompeii before its destruction by Mount Vesuvius. The ruins of this ancient Italian city serve as a reminder of the fragility of life and the impermanence of even our most grandiose creations.
Sallust, known for being a novus homo or "new man" in Roman politics, rose from humble origins to become a prominent figure in society. His home reflects his status as an influential political figure and respected historian.
As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of Italian history and culture that has shaped our world today. The legacy of figures like Sallust lives on through art such as this, preserving their stories for future generations to admire and learn from.
