EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a fragment of a Stela with an Oscan inscription dating back to 300-100 BC, located in the inner arch of Nola Gate in Pompeii, Italy. The inscription reads: "Vibius Popidius, son of Vibius, chief magistrate, had charge of this work and approved it." This ancient artifact is now housed in the British Museum in London, England.
The intricate detail of the inscribed letters on the red stone block gives us a glimpse into the language and culture of a bygone era. The extinct Oscan language adds to the mystery and allure of this piece from classical antiquity.
As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we are reminded of the great civilizations that once thrived in Italy and Britain. The craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such a stela speak to the skill and dedication of those who came before us.
This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to connect with our ancestors and appreciate their contributions to our world today. It is a testament to human ingenuity and creativity that transcends time and space.
