EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Temple of Saturn as it stood in Rome's ancient Forum in the year 1905. The Temple of Saturn, one of the oldest and most significant temples in the Roman Republic, is depicted here as viewed from the adjacent Basilica Julia. Dedicated to the god Saturn, the temple was believed to house the Palladium, a sacred statue of the goddess Palladium that was said to protect Rome. The temple's ancient ruins, with their towering pillars and intricately carved columns, stand in stark contrast to the modern world that has long since passed. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Rome, a time when religion and politics were deeply intertwined. The Basilica Julia, a large rectangular building with a central nave and side aisles, is also visible in the background. Constructed in 46 BC, it was one of the first permanent structures in the Roman Forum and served as a marketplace and a venue for public meetings. This photograph, taken in 1905, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the bustling activity that once took place in the heart of ancient Rome. The Temple of Saturn and the Basilica Julia, standing side by side, are a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman civilization and its continued influence on our world today.
