Augustus Closed Closes Gates Janus Peace
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the ancient Roman Emperor Augustus (63 BC - 14 AD) closing the gates of the Temple of Janus, an iconic moment in the annals of Roman history. The Temple of Janus, located in the heart of Rome, was a sacred site dedicated to the two-faced god Janus, who was believed to represent the beginnings and endings of things, as well as the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. During times of war, the gates of the temple were kept open as a sign of Rome's readiness for battle. However, when peace was achieved, the emperor would close the gates as a symbol of Rome's tranquility and security. In this photograph, we see Augustus, the first Roman emperor, performing this significant ritual, signifying that both Rome's land and sea were at peace. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history and customs of ancient Rome. The circular archway, adorned with intricate carvings and columns, frames Augustus in a regal and powerful pose. The serene expression on his face, coupled with the closed gates, conveys a sense of relief and triumph. The photograph, which is rights managed, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment in the history of one of the world's greatest empires. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and the enduring legacy of Rome's ancient traditions.
