In this print titled "Statue of Minerva-Victory at Ancient Ostia" we are transported back in time to the ancient city of Rome's port town, Ostia. The image showcases a remarkable statue depicting Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, alongside Victory. The photograph was taken between 1920-1930 during excavations at Ancient Ostia, revealing an extraordinary piece of Roman art dating back to the 1st century AD. Standing tall and majestic, the statue exudes power and grace as it pays homage to both Greek and Roman mythology. Minerva, also known as Athena in Greek mythology, is portrayed here as a female divinity embodying strength and intelligence. Her presence symbolizes not only her divine attributes but also represents the rich Greco-Roman cultural heritage that flourished throughout Europe during ancient times.
