EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An Ancient Table: A Glimpse into the Past through Keys and Cooking Utensils" This image, a beautiful copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, invites us on a journey back in time to the classical civilizations of Egypt, Etruscan, Greek, and Roman eras. The engraving, published in "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans," by Franzetti, Rome, 1802, showcases two intriguing elements: ancient keys from Velletri 1 and various cooking utensils from Naples 2. The left side of the image reveals a collection of ancient keys, discovered in Velletri 1, an archaeological site in Italy. The keys, with their intricate designs and worn surfaces, evoke a sense of mystery and history. Their presence suggests the existence of complex structures, perhaps temples, palaces, or fortresses, that have long since crumbled into the sands of time. On the right side, we find a selection of essential cooking utensils from Naples 2. A pot, ladle, sieve, and poker are depicted, each with its unique character and purpose. These utilitarian objects provide a tangible connection to the daily lives of people from these ancient civilizations. They remind us that despite the vast differences in culture and time, people have always shared the universal need to prepare and cook food for sustenance and enjoyment. The copperplate engraving, with its meticulous detail and exquisite craftsmanship, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history. It invites us to ponder the stories these ancient keys and cooking utensils might tell, and to appreciate the enduring connections between the past and the present.
