EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of young Romans engaged in physical exercises during the 3rd - 4th century. The mosaic, located at Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, showcases their attire consisting of a loincloth around the kidneys and a strophium on the chest (an ancient precursor to bras). The image is an exquisite example of Roman artistry and attention to detail. The young men are depicted with strength and grace as they partake in various athletic activities. Their bodies are adorned with laurel wreaths, symbolizing victory and achievement. The setting itself adds to the allure of this artwork. A lush botanical scene surrounds these youthful figures, emphasizing their connection with nature and leisurely pursuits. In contrast to modern swimwear, their choice of clothing reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Leonard de Selva's photography skillfully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable mosaic. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. This print serves as a window into ancient Roman culture – revealing glimpses of daily life, fashion choices, and recreational activities enjoyed by young Romans centuries ago. It is an invaluable piece that allows us to connect with our past while marveling at the artistic mastery displayed within it.
