EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman relief from the 3rd century, depicting the esteemed haruspex, Fulvius Alius, engrossed in his sacred work. Positioned before an altar adorned with Hercules and his mighty club, Fulvius stands as a conduit between mortals and gods. The intricate carving captures the essence of this ancient practice known as haruspicy. To the right of Fulvius, men laboriously pull in a fishing net teeming with fish under Neptune's watchful eye. This symbolic inclusion signifies that even nature's bounty can hold clues to unraveling divine messages. The fusion of Greek mythology and Roman religious beliefs is evident through Neptune's trident, denoting his association with Poseidon. The relief itself is a testament to the artistic prowess of its creator. Every detail has been meticulously carved into stone - from the lettering on the altar to each individual figure present. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this profound piece. Transport yourself back in time as you gaze upon this artifact hailing from Ostia in Italy's Lazio region. Immerse yourself in Roman civilization and ponder upon their unwavering devotion to deities like Hercules and Neptune. This extraordinary photograph by CM Dixon allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic brilliance behind such relics that continue to captivate our imagination today.
