EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from Roman Britain, dating back to the 2nd century. The image captures a copper alloy figure of Mars, the Roman god of war and one of the most revered deities in ancient mythology. Adorned with intricate silver inlay and wearing the armor of a general, this bearded male deity exudes power and strength. Displayed at the British Museum, this bronze figurine is considered to be one of the finest representations of Mars found in Roman Britain. Its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail make it an invaluable piece of history. The figure's imposing presence symbolizes not only warfare but also embodies concepts such as bravery, strategy, and victory. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when gods played a significant role in people's lives. Discovered in Earith, Cambridgeshire, this artifact serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that once thrived on British soil. It offers us a glimpse into how religion influenced daily life during Roman times. With its vibrant colors preserved over centuries and expertly captured by photographer Mike Dixon from CM Dixon Ltd. , this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance of this extraordinary piece.
