Black Background Classical Style Judge Latin Script Seat Stele Tomb
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of Roman civilization. The image showcases a remarkable artifact known as the Quaestor C, Otacilia Oppianos cippus, discovered in Graveson, France. Against a striking black background, we are drawn to the intricate relief sculpture that adorns this ancient tombstone. The focal point of this artwork is a folding seat called bisellum, which was exclusively reserved for magistrates during their official duties. This finely crafted seat symbolizes authority and power within the Roman legal system. Its presence on this stele signifies the importance placed on justice and governance in ancient Rome. The photograph captures every detail of this single object with precision and clarity. The classical style engraving beautifully complements the Latin script inscribed on the cippus, adding an air of authenticity to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this studio shot devoid of people, we can't help but marvel at how such an artifact has survived through centuries, preserving a glimpse into one of history's most influential civilizations. It serves as a testament to human craftsmanship and artistic expression. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Roman antiquities but also their cultural impact on societies past and present. It sparks curiosity about our shared heritage and encourages further exploration into the rich tapestry of ancient Rome's legacy in law and governance.
