EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, dating back to the first half of the 2nd century. Hadrian, also known as Publius Aelius Hadrianus, reigned as Emperor from 117 until his demise in 138. His legacy extends beyond Rome, particularly in Britain where he is renowned for constructing a fortified wall named after him that spanned across northern England to safeguard against barbarian invaders. The statue captures Hadrian's commanding presence and regal demeanor. With a well-groomed beard adorning his face, he stands tall and proud, symbolizing leadership and power. Crafted meticulously out of marble by skilled artisans of ancient times, this sculpture exemplifies the artistic excellence prevalent during that era. Intriguingly, Hadrian holds a scroll in one hand while cradling an orb in the other - symbols representing knowledge and authority respectively. These attributes further emphasize his role as a ruler who valued wisdom and governed with strength. Currently housed within The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, Russia; this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Roman history and artistry at its finest. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back through time to witness the grandeur of Emperor Hadrian's reign and appreciate his significant contributions to civilization.
