EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic work from Dougga, Tunisia, depicting Eros, the triumphant winner of the circuses games in the 4th century A. D. The artwork is housed within the prestigious Tunisian Archaeological Museum, known as Musee National Du Bardo. In this mosaic masterpiece, Eros stands proudly with his hands on his hips, adorned with a laurel wreath symbolizing victory. Behind him looms an elegant column and archway that add to the grandeur of this ancient Roman art piece. Eros holds a text in one hand while confidently grasping onto the reins of his chariot pulled by magnificent horses. The horizontal composition beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical gem. It transports viewers back to ancient Rome when chariot racing was one of the most thrilling circus spectacles enjoyed by both nobles and commoners alike. The mosaic's craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring as it skillfully combines human representation with animal imagery. Western script can be seen adorning parts of the artwork, adding another layer of cultural significance. This stunning photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this mosaic but also provides a glimpse into Tunisia's rich history and its connection to ancient Rome.
