EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the tragic fate of a Vestal Virgin who has broken her sacred vow of perpetual virginity in ancient Rome. The solemn expression on her face conveys the gravity of her punishment - being buried alive as a consequence of betraying her religious commitment.
The Vestal Virgins were priestesses dedicated to keeping the sacred flame burning in the Temple of Vesta, symbolizing purity and fertility. Breaking their vow was considered a grave offense against both religion and society, punishable by the most severe means.
As she is lowered into the earth, surrounded by onlookers and guards, one can only imagine the fear and despair she must have felt in those final moments. The cruelty of this punishment serves as a stark reminder of the strict moral code that governed ancient Roman society.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to 337 BC, allowing us to witness this harrowing scene from classical history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power dynamics at play in ancient civilizations and prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of justice and human rights since then.
