Architrave Foundation High Relief Inscription
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the remarkable Tropaeum Augusti at Turbia. The model of this awe-inspiring structure was proudly displayed at the Mostra Augustea of 1937-1938 in Rome, and now finds its home within the prestigious Museum of Roman Civilization. The Tropaeum Augusti stands as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of ancient Rome. Its inscription, writing, instruments, and communication elements speak volumes about the rich history that unfolds within its walls. Every architrave, building element, decoration, section - meticulously crafted with precision and artistry - tells a story waiting to be discovered. As one's gaze travels up towards the heavens above, they are met with towering columns adorned with intricate capitals. These majestic pillars serve as guardians to an unparalleled high relief sculpture that adorns every inch of this masterpiece. Dating back to 1911-1929 when it was originally created as an artwork by unknown hands, this photograph taken in 1941 immortalizes not just a physical structure but also an era long gone by. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence that once graced ancient Rome. Anderson's lens has captured more than just stone and mortar; it has encapsulated centuries worth of human ingenuity and artistic brilliance. This image serves as a reminder that even though empires may rise and fall, their legacy lives on through works such as these. In this single frame lies both beauty and knowledge – an invitation for all who behold it to delve into history's depths. As we stand before this relic from antiquity within the hallowed halls of the Museum of Roman Civilization in modern-day Rome itself – we can't help but marvel at how something so old can still ignite our imagination today.
