EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of three influential figures from ancient Rome: Horace, Scipio Aemilianus, and Plautus. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist in the 17th century, captures their profiles with remarkable detail. In the center stands Horace (65-8 BC), a renowned Roman poet known for his lyrical verses and satirical works. His dignified expression is accentuated by a laurel wreath adorning his head, symbolizing his poetic achievements. To the left is Scipio Aemilianus (185-129 BC), son of Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus. As a general and statesman, he played a crucial role in Rome's conquests during the Third Punic War. The intensity in his gaze reflects both determination and wisdom. On the right side of the composition stands Plautus (c. 254-184 BC), a celebrated comic dramatist whose plays entertained audiences with their wit and humor. His features convey an air of playfulness that mirrors his comedic genius. Together, these three figures represent different facets of Roman culture - poetry, military prowess, and theatrical arts - all captured within this single image. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this engraving serves as a testament to their enduring legacy. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded of how art can bridge time gaps between civilizations while immortal
