1. Title: "Triumph of Nike: A 2nd Century Roman Inscription from Shuni, Israel, Decorated with Victory Goddesses" This limestone print, hailing from the ancient Roman period, dates back to the 2nd century AD. Discovered in Shuni, a site located in present-day Israel, this artifact is now proudly displayed at the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem. The inscription, written in Latin, is encircled by an intricately carved wreath, symbolizing triumph and victory. Flanking the wreath are two figures of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, standing triumphantly atop a globe. This composition underscores the significance of military victories during the Roman Empire's expansion into the Near East. The inscription itself is not fully legible, but scholars believe it may have been part of a larger monument or commemorative plaque. The use of limestone, a common building material during the Roman era, suggests that this artifact could have originally adorned a public structure or temple. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Roman Empire's presence in the Near East during the 2nd century AD. The intricate carvings of Nike, standing victorious, serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange that occurred during this period. The Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem houses numerous treasures from various archaeological sites across Israel, providing valuable insights into the region's history. This Latin inscription, with its stunning depiction of Nike, is just one example of the many fascinating artifacts that can be found within its walls. This print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on ancient Rome, the Near East, or the art and history of the 2nd century AD. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a captivating piece for scholars, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the ancient world.
