EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Roman civilization, specifically the 4th century A. D. The mosaic, found in Althiburos, Medeina, Tunisia, depicts a fierce confrontation between two animals used for fighting shows in the amphitheater. In this detailed scene, we witness an intense moment of nature's raw aggression. A bear named Braciatus looms over an ostrich with menacing intent. The bear's powerful jaws are poised to devour its feathered adversary as the ostrich desperately tries to evade its fate. The mosaic not only showcases the conflict between these two creatures but also serves as a testament to the rich history and antiquities of ancient Rome. Its intricate artistry and craftsmanship transport us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into their fascination with animal themes. As we admire this horizontal composition captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both danger and beauty within its frame. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were captivated by wildlife and sought ways to showcase their power through such confrontations. Let this remarkable piece serve as a reminder of our connection to the past—a window into an era where Latin script prevailed and non-western scripts adorned walls with tales of bravery and survival. May it inspire curiosity about ancient civilizations while appreciating art's ability to immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
