EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a fascinating relic from ancient Rome: a bone stylus and fragment of a writing tablet dating back to the late 1st century BC. The image showcases the delicate craftsmanship of this unique artifact, which is now housed in the Musee Narbo Via in Narbonne, France. The bone stylus, with its intricate design and smooth texture, was once used by skilled writers to etch words onto wooden tablets. These tablets were an essential tool for recording important information during that time period. The fragment of the writing tablet seen in the photo provides us with a glimpse into the written history of ancient Rome. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to an era where handwritten texts held immense value and significance. The inscription on the tablet speaks volumes about Roman culture and their dedication to preserving knowledge through written records. Patrice Cartier's expert photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance of this artifact. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their enduring legacy. This print is more than just an accessory or antique; it represents a tangible link between our modern world and ancient times—an invaluable treasure that continues to inspire awe and curiosity today.
