EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic work from Timgad, Algeria. The intricate artwork depicts the Roman goddess Venus gracefully riding a centaur, symbolizing the fusion of Roman and Greek mythology. Timgad, known as Thamugadi during the Roman era, was founded by Emperor Trajan in 100 A. D and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982. The mosaic's vibrant colors and meticulous details transport us back to ancient times, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this colonial town. The border surrounding the scene features dolphins, further emphasizing its connection to Aphrodite, who is often associated with these majestic creatures. In this vertical composition, three people are seen admiring the artistry while looking directly at the camera. Their presence adds depth and scale to the image, highlighting both its grandeur and preservation efforts. As we contemplate this archaeological artifact dating back to approximately the 2nd century A. D. , it serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. This photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also invites us to explore our collective past and appreciate how various cultures intertwine through time
