EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a Roman mosaic, transporting us back to the 4th century. The focus lies on the exquisitely crafted head of a horse, revealing the remarkable agility and grace of this majestic creature. Found in Thuburbo Majus, an ancient site in Tunisia, this artifact is now proudly displayed at the Bardo Museums collection in Tunis. The circular composition draws our attention directly to the vibrant colors and intricate details that bring life to this ancient masterpiece. The craftsmanship behind each tile is awe-inspiring, capturing every nuance of the horse's expression with precision and skill. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance embedded within Roman civilization. Thuburbo Majus itself was once a thriving city that flourished during antiquity. This archaeological gem serves as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural prowess from centuries past. It is through artifacts like these that we can unravel stories about ancient cities, their people, and their deep connection with animals such as horses. As we admire this photograph captured by CM Dixon, it allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. Let it serve as a reminder of how art has transcended time and continues to connect us with civilizations long gone - an enduring symbol of our shared heritage.
