Civilizations That Inspire Our Collections – Ancient Rome

Ancient Rome was a civilization where order and power converged with beauty. Its marble columns, triumphal arches, and laurel wreaths were more than architectural elements; they were symbols of authority and permanence.

These symbols, carried from antiquity into the present, reflect Rome’s distinctive vision of power and the state. The eagle embodied the unwavering might of the legions; the laurel wreath, victory; and imperial portraits, continuity and dominion.

For Ancient Rome, grandeur was not a fleeting display of splendor, but an eternal order. This is why it is still known as the “Eternal City.”
