EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph and illustration depict the Temple of Fortuna Augusta in Pompeii, as it appeared in the late 19th century. The Temple, located at the intersection of Via del Foro and Via della Fortuna, is a remarkable ancient Roman structure dedicated to the goddess Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and prosperity. The Temple of Fortuna Augusta was built during the reign of Caesar Augustus in the 1st century AD and is considered one of the most well-preserved temples in Pompeii. The image, taken from Antonio Niccolini's "Pompeii: Views and Restorations" (Pompeii: Essaies et Restaurations), published by Autoriello & De Luca in Naples in 1898, was created by the skilled hand of G. Autoriello. Niccolini was the grandson of the renowned architect Antonio Niccolini Sr., who played a significant role in the excavation and restoration of Pompeii in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Temple of Fortuna Augusta stands proudly in the background, its Doric columns adorned with intricate carvings and its pediment adorned with the image of Fortuna driving a quadriga, or a chariot pulled by four horses. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Pompeii, a city frozen in time due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This beautiful chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of ancient Roman architecture and the enduring fascination it holds for scholars, historians, and enthusiasts alike. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
