EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "Romans playing at Mora" by the English School in the 19th century. The image, now part of a private collection, depicts a scene from ancient Rome where Romans engage in a lively game of Mora. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for Robert Brown's book, "The World Its Cities and Peoples" published by Cassell around 1885. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this historical moment to life. Mora, a popular game among Romans during ancient times, involved players guessing the number of fingers their opponents would hold up simultaneously. It was not only a form of entertainment but also served as a means for decision-making or settling disputes. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness the joyous camaraderie and competitive spirit among these Roman citizens. Their animated expressions and gestures reveal their enthusiasm for this traditional pastime. Furthermore, it is worth noting the presence of the Italian flag within this artwork, symbolizing Italy's rich cultural heritage and its connection to ancient Rome. This engraving serves as both an artistic representation and a reminder of Europe's diverse history. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can explore fascinating pieces like this one that offer glimpses into different eras while celebrating human connections through shared traditions such as games like Mora.
