This print showcases a remarkable depiction of Cybele, the powerful Roman goddess, on an ancient altar. The artwork portrays Cybele seated in a majestic chariot drawn by fierce lions, with Attys standing beside her on the right. The altar bears lettering that references L. Cornelius Scipio, potentially alluding to either one of the renowned generals or the individual responsible for commissioning this magnificent piece. The image exudes a sense of awe and reverence as it captures the essence of Roman religious beliefs and civilisation. The vibrant colors used in this artifact bring life to both nature and deity alike, emphasizing their intertwined existence within Roman culture. Cybele herself is depicted as a female figure embodying strength and divinity.

The inclusion of Attys further enhances the religious context surrounding this artwork. As a companion to Cybele, he represents devotion and loyalty towards the goddess. Through its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this photograph transports viewers back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in Roman history.
