EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable relief depicting a winch from the late 1st century AD. Created by Roman artisans, this stone artwork can be found in the Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City. The relief showcases a fascinating machine of lifting, operated by men who are depicted as laborers. The scene portrayed on this relief is believed to be connected to funerary practices or early Christian symbolism. It may have adorned a grave or sarcophagus, possibly belonging to someone named Aterii. The workers activating the wheel demonstrate their strength and dedication to their construction work. The low relief sculpture also features Jonah (or Jonas) from biblical lore, adding an element of religious significance to the artwork. This piece offers insight into ancient Roman culture and highlights the skillful craftsmanship of that era. With its intricate details and historical importance, this photograph serves as a valuable archaeological artifact. Preserved within the walls of one of Europe's most renowned museums, it allows us to appreciate the artistry and ingenuity of our ancestors.
