EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman wall painting from Ostia, dating back to the 2nd-3rd century. The image captures a religious procession of children during the late imperial period of the Roman Empire's expansion. This era spanned from the late 1st century BC to the 3rd century AD, concluding with Diocletian's reforms and the beginning of Christianization. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient scene to life. A group of young boys, barefoot and dressed in traditional attire, stand together as they participate in this solemn procession. Their faces reflect a sense of devotion and innocence as they collect offerings or engage in religious rituals. Ostia Antica, an ancient city located near Rome in Lazio, Italy, serves as the backdrop for this remarkable artwork. It is fascinating to witness how religion played a significant role in shaping daily life during that time period. Preserved through centuries, this wall painting offers us a glimpse into Roman society's cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of our shared human history and provokes contemplation on how faith has influenced civilizations throughout time.
