EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient France, Lyon, where a remarkable mosaic work depicting the games of the circus is on display. Dating back to the 2nd century A. D. , this Gallo-Roman art piece can be found at the Musee de la Civilisation Gallo-Romaine (Archaeological Museum). The image showcases a thrilling Quadriga race, an exhilarating chariot race with four horses. The intricate pattern and attention to detail in this mosaic are truly awe-inspiring. It transports us into an era when horse racing was not only a sport but also a spectacle that captivated audiences from all walks of life. In this particular scene, we see a medium group of people gathered around, witnessing the intense competition unfold before their eyes. As we delve deeper into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that only men were partaking in these games. However, large groups of animals were involved as well – showcasing both human and animal themes intertwined within ancient civilization. This indoor artwork serves as an archaeological artifact that sheds light on Roman culture and its love for performing arts events and sports races. Its horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this masterpiece while basking in its historical significance. Let this print transport you to another time - one filled with excitement, competition, and the enduring beauty of ancient artistry.
