EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sow's Litter: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman History". This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "The Sow's Litter" created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally featured in the book "Illustrations of School Classics" arranged and described by G. F. Hill in 1903. The image transports us back to the reign of Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161), offering a fascinating glimpse into the classical world. Depicting a historical scene, this medallion-like engraving captures the grandeur and opulence associated with ancient Rome. Intricately detailed, we see a magnificent bronze litter adorned with ornate carvings and embellishments being carried by servants through bustling streets. This luxurious mode of transportation symbolizes power and prestige during that era. Atop the litter rests a sow, representing fertility and abundance in Roman mythology. Its presence further emphasizes prosperity within this prosperous civilization. Digitally cleaned to enhance its beauty, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill employed by the unknown engraver as well as gain insight into one aspect of Roman life from centuries ago. "The Sow's Litter" serves as an enduring testament to our fascination with history and reminds us how art can transport us across time to explore different worlds.
