EDITORS COMMENTS
The Altar of Domitius, a magnificent ancient Roman artifact dating back to approximately 150 BC, is a captivating masterpiece showcased in the Glyptothek Museum in Munich, Germany. This intricately carved marble altar, originally dedicated to the deity Marcus Antonius Domitius Ahenobarbus, is adorned with an elaborate frieze that narrates the mythological wedding of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Amphitrite, the sea goddess. The base of the altar is particularly noteworthy, as it depicts the nuptial courtship scene in exquisite detail. The scene is dominated by a Nereid, a sea nymph, riding on the back of a hippocampus, a fabulous sea creature that resembles a horse with a fish's tail. The Nereid gracefully extends her hand, presenting a gift to the couple. Two winged Erotes, the gods of love, flank the scene, adding an element of romance and passion to the nuptial celebration. The detail of this scene is truly breathtaking. The bodies of the figures are depicted with anatomical accuracy, while the marine creatures are rendered with a sense of realism that brings the underwater world to life. The intricate carvings on the altar are a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the ancient Romans. The Altar of Domitius is a treasure of European antiquity and a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Roman mythology, art, or history. Its intricate details and fantastical creatures transport us back to a time when gods and goddesses were believed to inhabit the world, and their stories were an integral part of daily life.
