EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief found in the Arch of Titus, situated along the Via Sacra in the historic Rome Forum. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this exquisite piece of Roman art depicts men carrying a majestic menorah. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient sculpture to life. The arch itself holds great historical significance, as it was constructed to commemorate Emperor Titus' triumph over Jerusalem during the Jewish-Roman War. This bas-relief serves as a powerful testament to that victory and provides valuable insights into both Roman and Jewish history. The skilled craftsmanship evident in this horizontal artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Each figure is meticulously rendered, showcasing their strength and determination as they transport the magnificent candleholder through time immemorial. Though its creator remains unknown, their talent shines brightly through this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph by Santiago Ortega, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever in stone. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural exchange between these two ancient civilizations – Roman and Jewish – whose paths intersected on countless occasions throughout history. This print not only captures an exceptional work of art but also invites us to delve deeper into our shared human heritage. Its presence evokes curiosity, admiration, and appreciation for those who came before us while reminding us that history continues to shape our present-day world.
