EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - Stelae with a head (stone) from the Roman Imperial Period in Lambese, Algeria. The stone, dating back to 27 BC-476 AD, is believed to have been part of the military foundation established by the third Legion (Legio III Augusta) during the time of Hadrian. Lambaesa, once the capital of Numidia province, holds immense historical significance. This beautifully decorated carved stele served as a votive offering and symbolizes devotion and worship. The intricate details on this stone are truly awe-inspiring; from the meticulously crafted beard to the elegantly draped toga, every aspect reflects exceptional craftsmanship. The portrait depicted on this stelae represents a distinguished male figure who exudes power and authority. His regal appearance is enhanced by his saturnine countenance that adds an air of mystery. This portrayal provides us with valuable insights into ancient North African culture and their artistic expressions. Gerard Degeorge's skillful photography perfectly captures every nuance of this extraordinary artifact. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where art was used as a medium for religious devotion and cultural expression. This print serves as a testament to our shared human heritage and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
