A silence lasting centuries breaks in this episode of “Beyond the Marble”, as the voice of the marble worker Quintus Julius Miletus reaches us from a distant past.
Sculpted on a funerary altar in the Portico of the Galleria Borghese, his epitaph tells the story of a man who came to Rome to witness grand games and live off his art.
But his words offer more than a daily account: they refer to the "labyrinth," a universal symbol of challenges and deceptions, urging us to reflect on life's journey, its uncertainties, and its mysteries.
