EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Roman tombstone of Flavius Bassus, dating back to the 5th century. The image depicts a powerful scene, portraying a Roman cavalryman fearlessly riding down a barbarian on horseback. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient artifact to life. The tombstone itself is adorned with exquisite lettering, featuring capital letters that spell out the name "Flavius Bassus Herculanus". It stands as a testament to his legacy and bravery in battle. The rider's weapon of choice, a formidable spear, symbolizes the intense warfare that characterized this era. Located in Rome, Italy, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical evidence of the tumultuous times it represents. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness the clash between two cultures - one dominant and organized, represented by the Romans; and another fierce and untamed - embodied by the barbarians. Through this photograph captured by CM Dixon (Mike Dixon), we can appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its significance in understanding ancient civilizations' struggles for power and conquest. This stunning artifact reminds us of our shared human history filled with triumphs and tragedies alike.
