EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting the grandeur and excitement of Circus Maximus during the 1st century A. D. in ancient Rome. The intricately crafted artwork transports us back to a time when this colossal stadium was at the heart of Roman civilization, hosting thrilling competitions that captivated audiences from far and wide. The relief vividly captures the essence of these games, with its meticulous attention to detail. The chariots thundering around the track, pulled by powerful horses, symbolize both speed and strength. This intense display of rivalry between competitors is beautifully portrayed through dynamic lines and forms. As we gaze upon this studio shot, we are reminded of the immense cultural significance attached to such events in ancient times. Chariot racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of Roman society's entertainment and social fabric. The absence of people in this image allows us to focus solely on the artistry itself – every stroke meticulously carved into stone by skilled hands centuries ago. Animal representations add another layer of intrigue as they contribute to our understanding of sports races during that era. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship throughout history while offering us a glimpse into one aspect of ancient Rome's rich heritage. It reminds us how art can transcend time, allowing future generations like ours to appreciate and marvel at past civilizations' achievements without commercial motives or distractions
