EDITORS COMMENTS
Regina sacrorum, high priestess of ancient Rome. This engraving from 1796 depicts Regina sacrorum, the esteemed wife of the Rex sacrorum and a prominent figure in Roman society. Adorned in a resplendent gold crown, crimson palla, and stola, she stands before an altar within the sacred confines of a temple. With grace and reverence, she performs a solemn sacrifice to Juno, one of Rome's revered goddesses. This handcoloured copperplate engraving was skillfully created by L. Labrousse under the guidance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur for his renowned work 'L'antique Rome. ' The attention to detail is evident as every line brings out the intricate folds of her garments and captures her regal presence. The image offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman society with its elaborate costumes and religious practices. It transports us back to the 18th century when fascination with antiquity flourished in France. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of the rich history but also of the diversity that existed within ancient Rome's population - from different social classes to various religious beliefs. As we observe Regina sacrorum making her offering at this sacred moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved these glimpses into our past. This engraving serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human creativity throughout centuries.
