EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transport us back in time to the ancient city of Nimes, France, in the year 1835. The photograph depicts an exhilarating modern chariot race taking place within the grandeur of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. The amphitheater, a testament to the architectural prowess of the Romans, stands proudly in the background, its weathered stones bearing witness to the passage of time. Spectators, dressed in the fashion of the 1830s, are seen gathered around the arena, their eyes fixed on the racers as they compete in this thrilling event. The atmosphere is electric, with the anticipation of the crowd palpable as they cheer and cheer for their favorite charioteers. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of excitement and drama. The modern chariot race, a revival of the ancient Roman tradition, was a popular spectacle during the 19th century. It was an opportunity for the people to come together and enjoy a day of entertainment, much like their ancestors had done thousands of years before. The event brought a sense of connection to the past, allowing people to experience a piece of history firsthand. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the lives of the people of Nimes during this time. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre and the traditions that continue to be celebrated within its walls.
