EDITORS COMMENTS
The Circus Maximus: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Spectacle This engraving, titled 'The Circus Maximus, ' takes us on a journey back in time to the grandeur and excitement of ancient Rome. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a window into one of Rome's most iconic landmarks. The image showcases a meticulous reconstruction of the Circus Maximus, an immense chariot racing stadium that once stood proudly on the Aventine Hill. The scene is alive with energy as spectators eagerly gather along its towering walls, their eyes fixed upon the thrilling race about to unfold before them. In the distance, we catch glimpses of majestic palaces nestled against rolling mountains – perhaps representing the Palatine and Alban Hills – adding depth and majesty to this historical panorama. Edward Ollier's Cassells Illustrated Universal History serves as the source for this illustration, which has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity and detail. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from a private collection. As we gaze upon 'The Circus Maximus, ' let us marvel at how it transports us through time and space, allowing us to witness firsthand an era where chariots thundered around curves while crowds roared with exhilaration. This print truly captures both the splendor and thrill that defined ancient Roman entertainment.
