EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic from the Roman civilization in the 4th century A. D. The intricate artwork depicts a thrilling moment during a circus race, specifically focusing on a quadriga - a chariot pulled by four horses. This detailed section of the mosaic transports us back to ancient Rome, where horse-drawn chariot racing was an exhilarating and popular form of entertainment. The image captures the essence of this historical event with its horizontal composition, allowing us to appreciate every aspect of the scene. The vibrant colors and fine craftsmanship bring life to both the traditional clothing worn by spectators and the majestic animals involved in this spectacle. In this particular frame, we witness one man skillfully maneuvering his quadriga amidst a medium group of domestic animals also participating in the race. It serves as a reminder of how important these races were within Roman society during late imperial age. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, it is impossible not to be transported into another era – an era where chariot racing held great significance and excitement for Romans. This mosaic offers us glimpses into their past, reminding us of their rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate our imagination today.
