EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Ara Pacis Augustae, an ancient altar built between 13 and 9 B. C. in celebration of the peace established by Augustus during the Roman civilization's first century B. C. Steeped in history and archaeology, this temple-like structure stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Rome. The image captures the building exterior with its impressive architecture, displaying a harmonious blend of art and craft from a bygone era. The steps leading up to the altar invite us to imagine the countless individuals who would have ascended them centuries ago. In this horizontal composition, we are transported back in time to witness an important symbol of peace from antiquity. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the magnificence and significance of this historical artifact. As we gaze upon this relic from the past, we can't help but marvel at its intricate details and craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turbulent times, humanity has always sought solace in symbols like these - beacons of hope for tranquility. This photograph encapsulates not only a physical structure but also an entire epoch: it represents both imperial age under Augustus' rule and Julius Claudius age that followed thereafter. Its presence is a powerful reminder that history shapes our present while offering valuable lessons for our future generations.
