The imperial period was a time of grandeur and opulence, as depicted by the intricate marble bust of prisoner Dace. The Colosseum in Rome stands tall as a symbol of power and entertainment during this era. Journeying to the ancient Syrian city of Heliopolis, now Lebanon, one can witness the majestic ruins of the Temple of Jupiter or the Sun, showcasing the architectural prowess of that time. In Pompeii, we find remnants like the Eastern colonnade of the Temple of Venus Pompeiiana, which transports us back to an era filled with artistic marvels. The stone sculpture depicting Daedalus building a Cow for Pasiphae captivates our imagination between 1st and 3rd century AD. Moving on to more delicate artistry, a black and white photo captures a fountain adorned with a nude sculpture of a young boy in the House of Balcone pensile in Pompei. This evokes both beauty and innocence intertwined. Hadrian's Arch in Athens reminds us that even during this period, cultural influences were exchanged across vast distances through "Souvenirs d Orient. " Meanwhile, closer to home at Heliopolis or Baalbek in Lebanon lies another masterpiece -the detailed pronaos from Bacchus' Temple- showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. As we explore further into these ancient lands, we encounter intricately designed temple entrances that whisper tales from centuries past. One such entrance leads us into either Jupiter's or Sun's temple at Heliopolis or Baalbek; its magnificence is awe-inspiring. Amongst all these wonders stands out Athena Farnese's hand –a testament to Greek mythology within Roman culture– reminding us how different civilizations merged their beliefs during this imperial period. Lastly but not leastly is an intriguing bronze statue representing Barbarian life between 1-100 AD.
