This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient city of Carthage in Tunisia. The image captures a gravestone dedicated to a priest of Saturn, dating back to the 2nd century. The vibrant colors and intricate inscriptions on this object provide us with an intriguing glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs of that time. The gravestone stands as a testament to the significance of Saturn, a revered deity in Carthaginian religion. It serves as a solemn reminder of the priest's devotion and his role within society. The inscription on the stone reveals details about his life and perhaps even sheds light on rituals or customs associated with worshiping Saturn. Carthage, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, continues to fascinate archaeologists and historians alike. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to connect with an era long gone but not forgotten. As we contemplate this artifact, we are reminded of how religion played an integral part in shaping societies throughout history.
