EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model of a ship transporting wine on the Moselle River, originating from Neumagen in the 2nd century AD. The Gallo-Roman craftsmanship is evident in every intricate detail of this stone masterpiece, which now resides at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Trier, Germany. The significance of this model lies not only in its historical value but also in its connection to a wine merchant's grave. It serves as a testament to the thriving trade and commerce that took place along the Moselle during ancient times. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to the boat itself - an impressive longship adorned with barrels filled with precious cargo: wine. These casks symbolize both luxury and sustenance, representing the importance of wine as a commodity for transportation and consumption. The presence of oars suggests that this vessel relied on human strength and skill to navigate through these treacherous waters. A beautifully crafted figurehead adorns its bow, adding an artistic touch that further emphasizes the artistry behind this creation. Transporting us back over two millennia ago, this photograph allows us to marvel at how trade routes were established even then – connecting cultures through goods like wine along rivers such as Moselle. This extraordinary piece reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and exchange throughout history.
