Sonopus, meaning "sound-maker" in Latin, was an extraordinary individual who stood out from the crowd due to his diminutive stature.

The Roman people were fascinated by Sonopus, and he became a popular figure in the court of Julia, who was known for her patronage of the arts and her love of spectacles. Despite his small size, Sonopus was said to possess an extraordinary voice, which earned him his name.

This photograph print, a testament to the past, invites us to explore the intriguing world of ancient human oddities and the role they played in Roman society.
