EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to ancient Rome, showcasing three-wheeled war machines used by the Roman army. The image is a print of a plaster mold of the renowned Trajan Column commissioned by Napoleon III in 1860, now housed at the Museo della Civilt Romana in Rome. The scene captured here depicts an extraordinary display of military might and ingenuity. These formidable war machines were essential tools employed by the Roman army during their conquests. With their sturdy construction and innovative design, they symbolize the power and dominance of one of history's greatest empires. Dating back to 1938, this photograph offers a glimpse into both ancient times and more recent history. It showcases not only these impressive war machines but also highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate molds during the nineteenth century. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. The artwork on display represents an important period when artistry flourished alongside military prowess. The presence of soldiers dressed in authentic Roman attire adds depth to this historical tableau. Their clothing reflects fashion trends from centuries past while reminding us that behind every weapon lies a person with hopes, fears, and dreams tied to their vocation as protectors. Thanks to Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography techniques, we can appreciate this remarkable piece from afar. This image serves as a testament to humanity's ability to preserve our collective past through art and artifacts—a reminder that history lives on through objects like shields or columns cast long ago but still standing strong today.
