EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief titled "Relief depicting the Workshop of the Pharmacist or the Soap Factory of Juno Saponaria". Preserved in the Epinal Archaeological Museum and exhibited at the prestigious Augustan Show in Rome back in 1938, this artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient civilization. Dating back to the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD, this low relief captures an intriguing scene from Greco-Roman mythology. The image portrays a bustling workshop where pharmacists diligently work on their craft. Dressed in period costumes, these skilled artisans are surrounded by various objects and utensils that were essential for their trade. At its center stands a female figure believed to be Juno Saponaria or Hera, an important divinity associated with cleanliness and hygiene. Her presence suggests that this workshop might also have been involved in soap production—an interesting intersection between medicine and applied arts and crafts. The attention to detail is evident as every element within the relief has been meticulously carved. From intricately designed vases to other decorative objects adorning shelves, each component adds depth and authenticity to this ancient setting. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1938, this photograph preserves not only the beauty of Roman art but also provides valuable insights into European history. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations while reminding us of their contributions towards shaping our modern world.
