EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Aglais, the beloved daughter of Megacles, immortalized in a copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli from his esteemed work, "Antiquities of Herculaneum" published in Rome in 1789. Aglais is shown as a young woman, dressed in the traditional Bacchic attire, holding both a large trumpet and a bacchic ferrule. The trumpet in her hand is a symbol of her participation in the grand Alexandrian procession, an ancient ritual in honor of the god Dionysus. The intricately detailed engraving showcases Aglais' graceful demeanor and her unwavering dedication to the god of wine, fertility, and festivity. The bacchic ferrule, a decorative element often seen in Bacchic processions, adds an air of mystique and allure to the scene. This engraving is a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and the artistry of the classical world. Tommaso Piroli, a renowned artist and antiquarian, captured the essence of Aglais and the grandeur of the Alexandrian procession in this stunning work. The image is believed to be inspired by a fresco discovered in Pompeii or Herculaneum, further emphasizing the historical significance of this artwork. The Antiquities of Herculaneum was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the discoveries made during the excavation of Herculaneum, a Roman town buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Piroli's engravings brought the ancient world to life for a contemporary audience, inspiring a renewed interest in classical art and culture. This image of Aglais, the daughter of Megacles, is a testament to the enduring allure of the classical world and the power of art to transport us through time.
