EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Romano-British bronze statuette of Mars, dating back to the 3rd century. Standing tall and proud, this male deity is depicted with a fascinating twist - ram-horned serpents gracefully entwined around his body. The intricate details of this artifact are brought to life in vivid color, allowing us to appreciate its craftsmanship even more. Discovered in Southbroom, Wiltshire, England, this extraordinary piece offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Britain during Roman times. Mars was revered as the god of war and guardian of agriculture, making him an important figure in their pantheon. The presence of the ram-horned serpent adds another layer of symbolism to this already intriguing object. In mythology, serpents were often associated with fertility and rebirth while rams symbolized strength and virility. Together, they create a powerful representation that would have held great significance for worshippers at the time. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expert capture skills, we can now admire this Romano-British bronze statuette from afar. Its historical value cannot be overstated as it provides valuable insights into the cultural fusion between Roman traditions and indigenous British beliefs during this period.
