EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a section of the magnificent Tomb of Emperor Alexander Severus and his mother Julia Mamaea, located at Monte del Grano in Rome. The Tomb, a masterpiece of ancient Roman architecture, dates back to the 3rd century AD and is renowned for its intricate decorations and mythological themes. Emperor Alexander Severus (208-235 AD) was a Roman emperor of Parthian descent, known for his patronage of the arts and sciences. His mother, Julia Mamaea, played a significant role in his reign and is believed to have influenced his political and religious policies. The pair are depicted in this print lying in a chamber of their mausoleum, surrounded by various deities and mythological figures. The print is a beautiful copperplate engraving by Henry Moses, taken from his "Collection of Antique Vases, Altars, etc." published in London in 1814. The meticulous detail and shading in the engraving bring the ancient Roman art to life, transporting us back to the grandeur of the classical world. The Tomb of Alexander Severus and Julia Mamaea is a fascinating blend of Roman and Greek influences, with intricate carvings of various mythological scenes adorning its walls. The print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Rome, providing a window into a world of gods, heroes, and emperors. The print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman art and the importance of preserving and sharing the stories and history of the past. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the ancient world, inspiring curiosity and wonder in all who view it.
