EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and awe-inspiring Plutei of Trajan, a remarkable stone balustrade built by Emperor Trajan in Rome, Italy during 103 AD. The relief detail captured in this image is located within the Curia Julia, an important structure within the Roman Forum. The Plutei of Trajan served as both a functional and artistic masterpiece, symbolizing the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Rome. Carved with meticulous precision from marble, these balustrades were not only visually stunning but also held great historical significance. In this particular relief detail, we witness a scene that exemplifies the charitable nature of Roman society during that era. A seated speaker can be seen on a platform surrounded by people, including children. This depiction suggests an administration or distribution event for alimenta - an organization dedicated to providing support for orphans and those in need. The sculpture evokes emotions as it transports us back to a time when acts of charity played a vital role in shaping society's economy and caring for its most vulnerable members. The Plutei of Trajan stands as a testament to the benevolence and compassion exhibited by Emperor Trajan towards his people. This extraordinary photograph captures not just history but also artistry at its finest – reminding us that even centuries later, we can still marvel at the ingenuity and beauty created by our ancestors.
