EDITORS COMMENTS
This Roman floor mosaic from the 3rd century transports us back in time to the ancient city of Ostia, Italy. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the majestic figure of Neptune, the god of the sea. With his arm raised and hand gesturing, he commands authority over all marine life. Neptune stands tall and proud, a symbol of power and strength. His flowing beard and regal pose exude an air of divinity as he gazes upon his underwater kingdom. Surrounding him are various sealife creatures including fish and sea horses, paying homage to their ruler. This remarkable artifact is not just a mere piece of art but also a testament to Roman civilization's deep religious beliefs. It serves as a reminder that for these ancient people, gods like Neptune were integral parts of their daily lives. The mosaic measures cm Dixon x cm Dixon (dimensions) which further emphasizes its grandeur. Its preservation throughout centuries is truly remarkable, allowing us today to appreciate this masterpiece firsthand. As we admire this extraordinary workmanship, we cannot help but marvel at the skill and creativity possessed by those who crafted it so long ago. This print captures not only an object but also a concept - one that represents both artistic excellence and spiritual devotion in ancient Rome.
