EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a circular altar from the Roman period, originating from Atripalda and now carefully preserved in the Museo Irpino, Avellino. The altar stands as an exquisite testament to the grandeur and artistry of Roman civilization. Dating back to the first century AD, this stunning artifact exemplifies the opulence and sophistication prevalent during the Imperial Period. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are indicative of the mastery achieved by ancient Roman artists. The circular shape of this altar symbolizes unity and eternity, reflecting its significance in religious rituals and ceremonies. It serves as a focal point for worshipers seeking solace or guidance within their faith. As we delve deeper into its details, we encounter various mythological figures adorning its surface. These depictions transport us to an era where gods and goddesses held immense influence over daily life. Each figure tells a story - tales of love, war, wisdom, or power that were integral to Greco-Roman mythology. Captured through Alinari's lens in 1961, this photograph immortalizes not only the physical beauty but also the historical importance of this artwork. It transports us across time to witness firsthand one small fragment of Europe's ancient civilization. Let us marvel at how such artifacts connect us with our past; they remind us that our present is built upon layers upon layers of human ingenuity and creativity.
