EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Roman craftsmanship - the Fibula in the form of a three-storey tripartite gate of rusticated masonry. Dating back to the 3rd or early 4th century AD, this gilt silver brooch measures an impressive length of 5.1 cm. The intricate design resembles a grand architectural structure with its meticulously crafted gates and rusticated masonry. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the delicate metalwork to the gilded finish that exudes opulence. This artifact transports us back to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into their advanced metalworking techniques and artistic sensibilities. It serves as a testament to the Romans' appreciation for both functional objects and exquisite adornments. Beyond its utilitarian purpose as a brooch, this fibula transcends mere jewelry; it becomes an architectural masterpiece in miniature form. Its resemblance to an actual gate evokes thoughts of grandeur and protection, symbolizing not only fashion but also power and status. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph allows us access into history's treasure trove while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with beauty and artistry across centuries.
