EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble print depicts the Apotheosis of Antoninus Pius and his beloved wife Faustina, captured in an eternal scene of divine glory. Antoninus Pius, Roman Emperor from 138 to 161 AD, is shown in the center, wearing the imperial purple toga and radiating the aura of a god. His wife Faustina, the embodiment of Roman virtues, stands by his side, adorned in rich robes and crowned with the coronet of Venus. This relief sculpture, created in 161 AD, was originally located at the base of the Column of Antoninus, a monument built in honor of the emperor and his family. The Column of Antoninus is a testament to the grandeur and power of the Antonine Dynasty, which included emperors such as Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, and Commodus. The Apotheosis scene reflects the deep-rooted belief in the divine right of Roman emperors and their connection to the gods. The image of Antoninus Pius and Faustina ascending to the heavens signified their transformation into deities, joining the pantheon of Roman gods and goddesses. The intricate details of the relief sculpture showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skill of Roman artisans during the 2nd century AD. The scene is richly decorated with various symbols and motifs, reflecting the cultural, historical, and religious significance of the Roman Empire at the time. This print, now housed in the Vatican Museum, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of ancient Rome, inviting us to explore the history and culture of one of the most influential civilizations in human history.
