EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a section of a diptych depicting a thrilling chariot race, originating from Tunisia in the 5th century. The ivory artwork, now housed at the Museo Civico Cristiano in Brescia, Italy, offers us a glimpse into the ancient world of paleo-Christian entertainment. In this intricate relief carving, we witness the heart-pounding action of quadrigas racing around an elaborate course. The emperor and spectators eagerly watch as powerful horses pull these magnificent chariots with incredible speed and precision. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as everyone's eyes are fixed on the intense competition unfolding before them. The craftsmanship displayed in this diptych is truly remarkable; every detail meticulously carved to bring life to this historical event. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of its creator and the significance placed on such spectacles during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age where chariot races were not only sources of entertainment but also symbols of power and prestige. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within it but also provides valuable insight into ancient cultures and their forms of amusement.
