EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Tribute to Augustus: The Commemorative Plaque of Lucretius Zethus" This image showcases a first-century AD commemorative plaque dedicated to Augustus, discovered in Via di Monte Brianzo, Rome, and now housed in the Palazzo Massimo of the Roman National Museum in Italy. The marble fragment, inscribed with an inscription in Latin scriptures, provides a glimpse into the historical era of ancient Rome and the reverence held for its first emperor. The plaque, dedicated by a free man named Lucretius Zethus, serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Augustus. The inscription, though fragmented, reveals that Lucretus was expressing his gratitude and loyalty to Augustus. The artifact's intricate design and the meticulous craftsmanship of the inscription further emphasize the significance of Augustus' rule during the Roman Age. The commemorative plaque, with its historical and artistic value, offers a unique insight into the Roman society of the time. The use of marble and the careful inscription of the text underscores the importance of literacy and the written word in Roman culture. The discovery of such artifacts in museums like the Palazzo Massimo is essential for scholars and history enthusiasts to study and understand the historical context of ancient Rome. The image of the plaque not only transports us back to the age of Augustus but also highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy. The intricate details of the inscription, the worn edges of the marble, and the timeworn patina all contribute to the allure and mystery of this ancient artifact. The commemorative plaque of Lucretius Zethus is a poignant reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of Augustus.
