EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman Colchester Vase, a true testament to ancient civilization. Against a striking black background, the vibrant colors of this artifact come alive, drawing us into its intriguing narrative. The vase bears witness to a solemn moment of submission and death, as depicted by two gladiators frozen in time. On the left side stands the Secutor, donned in full armor exuding strength and determination. On the right is the Retarius, armed with a trident and net, his forefinger raised in surrender. This poignant gesture symbolizes acceptance of fate within the brutal arena of combat. The inscription reveals that this vessel contains cremated remains belonging to Memnon Valentinius from Legion XXX. As we delve deeper into this image's details, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously crafted – from the intricate hand gestures to each warrior's stance. This studio shot captures not only an object but also emotions embedded within history. The Colchester Vase serves as both homeware and artistry; its significance extends beyond mere functionality. It transports us back to an era where gladiatorial battles were part of everyday life for Romans in England's Essex region. Through this photograph by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we are granted access to an extraordinary relic that bridges past and present. Its presence reminds us of our shared human experiences: struggle, sacrifice, and ultimately acceptance even in face of mortality
