EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting circus games from the Roman era. Created in the 2nd century AD, this stone artwork is currently housed in the Museo della Civilta Romana in Rome, Italy. The image captures a thrilling scene of fighters engaging in various forms of entertainment and battle. The relief portrays gladiators fearlessly confronting each other, their bodies tense with anticipation as they prepare to engage in combat. Alongside them are performing animals such as lions, bears, bulls, and even a menacing crocodile. This depiction highlights the wild nature of these gladiatorial sports and the clash between humans and untamed creatures. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of these confrontations - every muscle strain and facial expression revealing both determination and vulnerability. It's an awe-inspiring portrayal that transports viewers back to ancient times when such spectacles were highly anticipated events. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind this relief but also provides insight into Roman culture and their fascination with violent yet mesmerizing displays of strength and bravery. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how our ancestors found entertainment through conflict while simultaneously recognizing our own evolution towards more humane forms of amusement today.
