This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic from the ancient city of Carthage, dating back to the 2nd century AD. The intricate artwork is now housed in the esteemed collection at Bardo Museum in Tunisia. The mosaic depicts an exhilarating scene of chariot racing, a popular spectator sport and form of entertainment during Roman times. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this ancient spectacle to life. Four powerful horses pull a magnificent quadriga, driven by a skilled charioteer who navigates through the bustling arena.

This artwork beautifully captures the energy and excitement that filled these grand arenas. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fervor surrounding these games. Men from all walks of life gather together, captivated by the intense race unfolding before them. Horses gallop with incredible speed while their drivers skillfully maneuver around sharp turns. This print serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient civilizations like Rome. It allows us to appreciate not only their technological advancements but also their passion for sports and entertainment that still resonates with us today.
