EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored copperplate engraving, the Ruins of the Gate of Athena Archegetis at the Roman Agora in Athens, Greece, are depicted in intricate detail. This ancient gate, also known as Porta del Mercato di Atene, once served as the main entrance to the Roman Agora or Forum, a bustling marketplace and administrative center during the Roman occupation of Greece. The gate is dedicated to Athena Archegetis, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. The central feature of the gate is a temple-like structure, with a pediment displaying the goddess Minerva or Athena, the Roman equivalent, holding an olive branch and shield. The temple is flanked by smaller structures, including those dedicated to Neptune and the goddesses Polias and Pandrosus. The engraving also includes detailed plans and elevations of the gate, providing a comprehensive view of its architectural design. The Ionic columns, typical of ancient Greek architecture, are adorned with intricate carvings and decorative motifs. The gate's porch is supported by six caryatids, or female figures, each holding the weight of the roof on their shoulders. This engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1826. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Greece, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of its architectural wonders. The Ruins of the Gate of Athena Archegetis continue to captivate visitors to Athens today, standing as a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Greek culture on the modern world.
