EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Relief of a Romano-British triple goddess, believed to be Coventina, dating back to the 3rd century. Discovered at the Roman fort in High Rochester, Northumberland, this remarkable artefact offers us a glimpse into the rich religious and artistic heritage of ancient Britain. The sculpture depicts three female figures intertwined in an elegant dance-like pose. Their nakedness symbolizes purity and vulnerability while their graceful forms exude strength and divinity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every delicate curve and flowing line that brings this relief carving to life. As a water goddess, Coventina was revered for her association with springs, wells, and other sources of water. This depiction highlights her significance as a deity connected to fertility, purification, and rejuvenation. The presence of this sacred object within the fortification suggests that it held great religious importance for its inhabitants during Roman times. Through this photograph's vivid colors and meticulous composition by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we are transported back centuries ago when people worshipped these powerful deities as part of their daily lives. It serves as a testament to both the skillful craftsmanship of ancient artists and our enduring fascination with uncovering fragments from lost civilizations.
