EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the ancient Roman ritual of Lupercalia, as officiated by the Luperci, the priests of the collegium honoring the mythical wolf that had suckled Rome's founding brothers, Romulus and Remus. The Lupercalia, held annually on February 15th, was a fertility festival to ensure abundant crops and offspring. The Luperci, dressed in goatskins and carrying thongs made from the same material, are depicted striking women with these symbols of purification and fertility. The women, seeking to increase their chances of conceiving, would line up to be struck by the priests, believing that the ritual would make them more fertile. This classical historical scene is a fascinating glimpse into the rich religious practices of ancient Rome. The Lupercalia, with its unique blend of mythology, ritual, and community, is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the human desire for connection to the divine. The Luperci, with their stern yet compassionate expressions, embody the sacred role they played in the lives of the Roman people. Their commitment to preserving the ancient traditions and ensuring the continuity of the Roman civilization is a reminder of the importance of honoring the past and the role it plays in shaping our present and future. This image, with its striking contrasts of light and shadow, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the magic and mystery of a bygone era. The Lupercalia and the Luperci are a captivating reminder of the depth and complexity of Roman history and the enduring allure of the classical world.
