EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Stela from the High Imperial Period, dating back to 27 BC-395 AD. Crafted out of stone by the skilled hands of Roman artisans during the Roman Imperial Period (27 BC-476 AD), this exquisite piece was discovered in Timgad, Algeria. The stela, also known as a cippe, is adorned with intricate relief sculptures and Latin inscriptions. It served as a votive offering for religious worship and cult rituals in Thamugadi, an important Roman colonial town founded by Emperor Trajan in 100 AD. Every detail on this stela reflects the opulence and grandeur of the High Empire era. The male figure depicted wears a majestic toga, symbolizing his high social status. The decorative elements surrounding him are ornate and meticulously crafted. Gerard Degeorge's masterful photography captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this ancient artifact. With its rich history and stunning craftsmanship, this print transports viewers back to a time when art was used to express devotion and reverence.
