EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of ancient pins with gilt heads dating back to the 2nd-3rd century. Discovered in the burial ground of Can Colomer Munmany in Vic, Catalonia, these artifacts provide a glimpse into the personal adornments and funerary practices of individuals from Roman times. The delicate craftsmanship of these pins, adorned with gold plating, reflects the wealth and status of their owners during this era. Each pin tells a story of its own, offering a connection to the past and shedding light on the material culture of ancient Rome. Displayed at the Episcopal Museum in Vic, these pins serve as tangible reminders of a bygone age filled with history and mystery. From bone to gold, each element used in creating these objects speaks volumes about the artistry and skill possessed by artisans from centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age where every detail mattered - even down to something as small as a pin. The significance of these artifacts cannot be understated; they are not just objects but windows into a world long gone yet still present through archaeological finds like this one.
