EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic that takes us back to the ancient Roman civilization in the 3rd century A. D. The intricate artwork depicts an epic battle between Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry, and the wise old Silenus, against a notorious group of pirates in the Mediterranean Sea. Every detail in this mosaic tells a story - from the intense expressions on their faces to the dynamic movement captured as they fight off their adversaries. The artist's skill is evident in how they have portrayed both human figures and sea life with such precision. The scene unfolds on a sailing boat amidst crashing waves, reminding us of the dangers faced by seafarers during those times. In one corner, an octopus lurks beneath the surface, adding an element of danger and mystery to this historical masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness this legendary clash between gods and men. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and classical mythology. This print captures just a small part of this magnificent mosaic found at Thugga (Dougga), Tunisia. Its horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every exquisite detail while immersing ourselves in ancient maritime adventures
