Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Dionysus in Battle: A Striking 4th Century Mosaic from Villa Rufinella, Rome This mosaic, dating back to the 4th century AD, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient Rome. Housed in the Palazzo Massimo of the Roman National Museum in Rome, Italy, this pavement mosaic, originating from Villa Rufinella in Frascati, showcases the mythological deity Dionysus engaged in a fierce struggle with a group of Indians. Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility, and revelry, is depicted in the center, clad in animal skin and brandishing a large shield. The god's youthful, energetic figure is in stark contrast to the aggressive Indians, who are shown attacking him with spears and other weapons. The intricate geometric design of the tesserae (tiles) adds to the visual appeal of the mosaic, creating a dynamic and engaging scene. The mythological origins of this scene are rooted in the tales of Dionysus' journey to India, where he was said to have encountered resistance from the local population. The god, however, was able to subdue the Indians through his divine powers, ultimately spreading the cult of Dionysus throughout the region. This mosaic serves as a reminder of the Romans' fascination with mythology and their ability to bring these stories to life through intricate and visually stunning works of art. The struggle between Dionysus and the Indians is a powerful representation of the god's strength and determination, making this a must-see piece for anyone interested in ancient Roman culture and mythology.
