EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman depiction of a centaur in a Bacchic procession, dating back to the 2nd century. Preserved on a Roman sarcophagus and currently housed in the National Museum in Rome, this ancient artwork offers us a glimpse into the vibrant celebrations and mythical beliefs of that era. In this scene, we witness the fusion of human and animal forms as a half-beast, half-man centaur takes part in the Bacchic procession. The centaur, with its muscular body and equine lower half, stands out amongst other figures parading through the streets. As musicians play their lyres nearby, this winged creature adds an air of mystique to the festivities. The image not only reflects Roman mythology but also draws inspiration from Greek mythology. Bacchus (or Dionysius), known as the god of wine and revelry, is often associated with such processions. This portrayal highlights how these celebrations were deeply ingrained within Roman society. Crafted from marble with intricate detailing by skilled artisans of that time period, this object serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It symbolizes not just death or burial customs but also represents an entire civilization's concept of life's joys and sorrows. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon who have captured these remarkable pieces for posterity, we can continue to appreciate and learn from our rich cultural heritage today.
