EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Section through the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Parco Adriano, Rome," is an exquisite example of the intricacy and beauty of ancient Roman architecture. The image, created as a copperplate engraving by Henry Moses in 1814, is taken from Bartoli's "A Collection of Antique Vases, Altars, etc." The Mausoleum of Hadrian, located in Rome's Parco Adriano, is a magnificent tomb built for the Roman Emperor Hadrian and his family. This sectional view of the mausoleum offers a unique perspective, revealing its complex design and intricate spiral staircase. The myth and legend surrounding Hadrian's Mausoleum are as captivating as the structure itself. Hadrian, who ruled the Roman Empire from 117 to 138 AD, was known for his love of architecture and his extensive travels throughout the empire. The mausoleum, completed in 139 AD, was not only a tomb but also a symbol of Hadrian's power and wealth. The mausoleum was designed in the shape of a stepped pyramid, with a height of 142 feet and a diameter of 300 feet. It was decorated with various sculptures and reliefs, many of which have been lost to time. The spiral staircase, visible in this print, was used for access to the upper levels of the mausoleum. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and fascination of ancient Roman architecture. It invites us to explore the history and mythology behind the Mausoleum of Hadrian and to marvel at the intricacy and artistry of this magnificent structure.
