EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the "Procession of Priests" on the north wall of the Ara Pacis in Rome. Created by Roman artists during the 1st century BC, this marble relief is a testament to ancient craftsmanship and artistic mastery. The procession depicted here showcases a group of priests adorned in traditional togas, their laurel wreaths symbolizing victory and honor. Each figure is meticulously sculpted, capturing intricate details that bring them to life. The architectural backdrop adds depth and context to this mythological scene. The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Augustan Peace, holds immense historical importance as it was dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace. This altar was erected in 9 BC by Emperor Augustus himself to commemorate his military triumphs in Gaul and Hispania. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where religion played a central role in society. The solemnity and reverence displayed by these priests remind us of their unwavering devotion towards their faith. Vincenzo Pirozzi's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity while preserving its original essence. This print serves as a window into history, inviting us to explore not only ancient art but also the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
