EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman family altar, carved meticulously in stone. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. Displayed at the Nin Museum in Croatia, this piece offers a glimpse into the private worship practices of Roman households. The inscription on the altar suggests that it was used for domestic religious rituals, highlighting its significance as a focal point for spiritual devotion within the home. Its Latin inscriptions further emphasize its classical origins and cultural importance. The image captures not only the physical beauty of the altar but also evokes a sense of reverence and wonder associated with ancient traditions. It transports us back in time to an era where writing played a crucial role in religious ceremonies and personal expressions of faith. Photographer John Bethell has skillfully captured every delicate curve and line etched into the stone, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and historical context. This print serves as a testament to Bethell's talent for capturing timeless works of art. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our shared human history and how these artifacts connect us to our ancestors' beliefs and practices. It is through such visual representations that we can continue to learn from past civilizations while cherishing their enduring legacy.
