EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Septizodium, 1556," is an anonymous yet intriguing depiction of an ancient Roman architectural wonder. The Septizodium, also known as the "Mirror of Roman Magnificence," is a ruined building located in Rome, Italy, and dates back to the 16th century. The name "Septizodium" comes from the Latin words "septem" meaning seven and "zodiacus" meaning sign of the zodiac, referring to the seven zodiac signs that were once represented on the building's facade. The print, created during the century of the Counter-Reformation, is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome's rich history and cultural heritage. The image, etched and engraved by an unknown artist, captures the essence of the Septizodium's grandeur, with its imposing pillars and intricate architectural details. The print is part of the extensive collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and is a valuable addition to any art or history enthusiast's collection. The Septizodium was originally built as a grand entertainment venue, with a capacity to hold up to 10,000 spectators. The building was designed to reflect the magnificence of ancient Rome and its imperial power. Today, the ruins of the Septizodium stand as a reminder of Rome's rich history and its enduring influence on Western civilization. This print, with its intricate details and captivating imagery, invites us to explore the wonders of Rome's past and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of its architectural heritage.
