EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman mosaic of the triumph of Neptune, dating back to the 2nd century. Hailing from La Chebba in Tunisia and currently housed in the prestigious Bardo Museums collection in Tunis, this ancient artifact is a testament to the grandeur and artistic finesse of Roman civilization. In this vibrant mosaic, we witness a scene filled with jubilation and reverence. Neptune, the powerful god of water and sea, stands tall with his arm raised in a commanding gesture. His majestic chariot pulled by magnificent horses traverses through an intricately designed road transport system. The intricate details and vivid colors bring life to this masterpiece. Surrounded by men, women, animals, and even other deities like Poseidon (the Greek counterpart), Neptune's divine presence is palpable. This religious celebration pays homage to his authority over oceans and rivers while symbolizing prosperity for those who rely on maritime trade. The skillful craftsmanship evident in every tile reflects not only the technical prowess but also the cultural significance attached to such mosaics during that era. It serves as a window into Roman society's values - their deep-rooted beliefs intertwined with artistry. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we are transported back centuries ago when gods walked among mortals. The fusion of history, religion, transportation systems, mythology, and human creativity makes this mosaic an invaluable treasure that continues to inspire awe today
