EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the year 1938, where we find ourselves immersed in the grandeur of ancient Rome. The image showcases a meticulously crafted scale model of the Porta Augustae at Nimes, proudly exhibited at the renowned Augustan Show held in Rome during that time. The architectural masterpiece depicted here is a testament to both human ingenuity and historical significance. The Porta Augustae, also known as the Gate of Augustus, was an imposing Roman gateway located in Nimes, France. Its construction dates back to the first century AD when it served as an entrance to this bustling Gallo-Roman city. Through this photograph by Alinari Fratelli, we are granted a glimpse into the meticulous attention to detail that went into recreating this iconic structure. Every archway, column, and intricate carving has been faithfully reproduced on this miniature representation. It stands as a tribute not only to Roman engineering but also to archeological exploration and preservation. The choice of capturing this particular moment during its exhibition adds another layer of historical context. In 1938 Rome was under fascist rule led by Benito Mussolini's regime which sought inspiration from ancient Rome's glory days for their own political agenda. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and invites us to reflect on how art can transcend time itself. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind such models but also sparks curiosity about our past – igniting within us a desire for further exploration and understanding of our rich history.
