EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stone figure from a Mithraeum near Hadrian's Wall, dating back to the 3rd century. The close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this ancient artifact. The figure depicts a local Mother Goddess, representing femininity and fertility in Roman religious beliefs. Seated gracefully, she exudes an aura of power and divinity. This stone sculpture is not only a testament to the artistic skills of its creators but also serves as a window into the religious practices of that era. Mithraism, an influential religion during Roman times, revered various deities and gods. This particular depiction highlights the significance placed on female figures within their belief system. Located in Carrawburgh near Hadrian's Wall in England's Northumberland region, this stone figure stands as a symbol of civilization and spirituality from centuries past. Its presence evokes curiosity about the people who once worshipped here and offers insight into their concept of deity. Photographed by CM Dixon, this image allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such artifacts and our ability to preserve them for future generations. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an integral role in human history – bridging gaps between civilizations long gone while igniting our imagination with stories untold.
