EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of ancient Roman art, known as "Relief with a circus scene". Preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Sofia, Bulgaria, this exquisite work was prominently displayed at the prestigious Augustan Exhibition of Roman Culture held at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from 1937 to 1938. The relief itself is a low bas-relief that showcases the artistic brilliance of Roman civilization. Created between the 1st century BC and the 4th century AD, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. The intricate details depict a lively circus scene filled with performers and spectators alike. Intriguingly, one can spot various elements within this artwork that reflect both fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that period. From wrestlers engaged in intense combat to individuals adorned in elaborate costumes, every figure seems frozen in time. Notably, amidst all these vibrant characters stands out a majestic bear - an ancient symbol often associated with strength and power. Its presence adds an air of mystique to this already mesmerizing composition. As we delve deeper into this photograph's historical significance, it becomes evident how it encapsulates Europe's rich ancient civilization. It serves as a testament to the immense talent possessed by those who came before us. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1938 during its display at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome; this image not only immortalizes an extraordinary work but also allows us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of Roman artistry from centuries past.
