EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Telegenic Troupe in a thrilling spectacle, as they fearlessly engage in combat with leopards on a Roman floor mosaic from Moknine dating back to the 3rd century. The image, preserved at the Sousse Museum, transports us to ancient Italy where entertainment took on an exhilarating form. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a group of men from various Asian countries demonstrating their prowess and bravery. Armed with spears and other formidable weapons, these courageous individuals confront the powerful felines head-on. The vibrant colors of the mosaic bring life to this historical moment, highlighting both the intensity of battle and the beauty of these majestic creatures. The photograph captures not only an extraordinary display of skill but also serves as a reminder of Rome's fascination with warfare during that era. It symbolizes humanity's complex relationship with animals throughout history – one that encompasses admiration for their strength while simultaneously exploiting them for our own amusement. As we gaze upon this artifact within its Tunisian setting, it evokes contemplation about concepts such as death and killing in ancient times. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into another world - one filled with excitement and danger - inviting us to reflect on how entertainment has evolved over centuries while raising questions about our own values today.
