This print showcases a remarkable mosaic from El Djem, Tunisia, dating back to the Roman civilization in the 3rd century. The intricate artwork depicts three men engrossed in a game of dice, capturing a moment of intense challenge and competition. Standing and sitting around an ancient chessboard-like pattern, these individuals are fully immersed in the thrill of chance and strategy. The mosaic's vertical composition allows us to appreciate every detail of their traditional clothing, adorned with vibrant robes that reflect the rich cultural heritage of this ancient civilization. As we gaze at this archaeological artifact, we are transported back in time to witness a scene that was once part of everyday life during the imperial age.
