EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the bust-portrait of the infamous Emperor Caligula. Preserved within the esteemed Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek of Copenhagen, this artwork was prominently displayed at the Augustan Exhibition of Roman Culture held in Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni during 1937-1938. The portrait itself emanates an aura of power and authority, reflecting both the political figure that Caligula embodied and his significant social status within Roman society. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes evident that this is more than just a representation of an emperor; it is a window into a bygone era filled with grandeur and ambition. Caligula's reign during the Julio-Claudian Period marked a pivotal time in ancient civilization. His presence as an emperor left an indelible mark on history, shaping not only the empire but also its people. The laurel wreath adorning his head symbolizes victory and triumph—a testament to his imperial rule. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported back to 1938 when this photograph was taken amidst the Augustan Exhibition. This event sought to capture and celebrate Rome's rich cultural heritage while showcasing its artistic prowess throughout history. As we ponder upon this remarkable piece of Roman art exhibited against the backdrop of Europe's ancient civilization, let us reflect on how individuals like Caligula shaped empires with their ambitions and desires for power. This photograph serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these historical figures continue to captivate our imagination through their enduring legacy.
