EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "POMPEII: BONE COUNTERS" takes us back in time to ancient Rome. The image showcases intricately carved bone counters that were once employed by the Romans for calculation purposes. Discovered at the archaeological site of Pompeii in Italy, these remarkable artifacts provide a fascinating glimpse into the mathematical practices of this ancient civilization. Each bone counter features symbols and positions of hands that correspond to numbers, resembling the numerical system used in 16th century England. This connection across different cultures and centuries highlights the universality of mathematics as a language transcending time and borders. The skillful carving on these bone counters is a testament to the craftsmanship of Roman artisans, who transformed simple bones into functional tools for calculations. These objects not only served practical purposes but also symbolize the intellectual pursuits and advanced knowledge possessed by Roman society. As we contemplate this photograph, we are reminded of Pompeii's tragic fate - buried under layers of volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Yet, through such archaeological discoveries like these bone counters, we can piece together fragments from this lost world and gain insights into its rich history. This print serves as a visual reminder that even amidst destruction and loss, human ingenuity endures through tangible relics left behind – allowing us to marvel at our shared past while appreciating how far we have come in our own mathematical journey.
