EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable frieze from the 1st century, depicting Roman soldiers engaged in a fierce battle against Germanic tribesmen. Preserved on a Roman sarcophagus, this artifact is housed within the prestigious National Museums collection in Rome. The image captures the intensity and violence of ancient warfare as both sides clash on horseback. The full-frame composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece. The color palette adds depth and realism to the scene, immersing viewers into the heart of the battlefield. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork, we are reminded of the significance of horses in ancient civilizations. These majestic animals were not only modes of transportation but also played crucial roles in military campaigns. This photograph evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about our past. It serves as a testament to human civilization's capacity for both creation and destruction. In death, these sarcophagi became vessels for honoring fallen soldiers while preserving their memory for eternity. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an era marked by conflict and conquest. This image invites contemplation on themes such as power dynamics between nations, cultural clashes, and ultimately reminds us that history shapes our present reality.
