The image captures the intricate bas relief carving on the Obelisk of Theodosius, located at the historic Hippodrome of Constantinople. Dating back to the 4th century during the late imperial age, this stunning detail depicts none other than Roman Emperor Theodosius I himself among his court, presenting awards to victorious race winners. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this ancient sculpture are truly awe-inspiring. Carved into stone with precision and skill, every line and contour brings forth a lifelike representation of Theodosius I and his entourage. This vertical bas relief stands as a testament to both the artistic prowess of Byzantine artisans and the grandeur of ancient civilization.
