EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Sarcophagus of Annona, a remarkable piece of Roman art preserved in the National Museum at the Baths of Diocletian in Rome. Taken around 1890, this image allows us to admire the intricate details and craftsmanship that date back to 250-275 AD. The sarcophagus itself is adorned with various elements that speak volumes about ancient civilization and Greco-Roman culture. A diadem, jewelry, and other objects are delicately applied on its surface, showcasing the mastery of applied arts and crafts during this period. The presence of a cornucopia symbolizes abundance while an instrument hints at music as a type of representation or allegory. What makes this artwork truly fascinating is its abstract concept and symbolic nature. It serves as a significant archaeological find, shedding light on history through depictions related to prefects, scenes from daily life or work vocations. The figures portrayed are dressed in ancient costumes reflecting fashion trends from that era. Intriguingly, both male and female divinities can be seen amidst draped portraits. This amalgamation highlights how mythology played an essential role in Roman society's belief system. Anderson's expert photography skillfully captures every detail with precision; allowing viewers to appreciate not only the subject but also his artistic prowess behind capturing such historical artifacts. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Alinari without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company - it transports us back centuries ago when Roman art flourished throughout Europe within their magnificent ancient civilization known as Greco-Roman culture
