EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century print titled "A Roman priest offers a sacrifice to the gods at the building of Rome" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of ancient rituals and daily life. The Netherlandish School artist skillfully captures the essence of Roman civilization, showcasing their religious practices and agricultural activities. At the center of the composition, a Roman priest stands tall, offering a solemn sacrifice to appease the gods. Nearby, a ploughman guides his oxen as they diligently plow through a fertile field, symbolizing the importance of agriculture in sustaining this great empire. Surrounding them are centurions engaged in various maneuvers and construction tasks. They build structures, set up camp with tents dotting the landscape, and demonstrate military prowess. These elements provide us with glimpses into different aspects of Roman life during that era. The intricate copperplate engraving by Jan Luyken adds depth and detail to every aspect of this historical tableau. It is evident that considerable care has been taken to accurately depict both people and objects from ancient Rome. This remarkable artwork serves as an invaluable token for history enthusiasts who seek insight into classical civilizations such as Rome. Through its masterful execution and attention to detail, it transports us back centuries ago while reminding us of our shared human heritage across time.
