EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of triumph as an athlete receives a trophy after winning the Desultor Race. The mosaic artwork, dating back to the 3rd century AD and found in Volubilis, Morocco, showcases the skill and agility required for this unique competition. In the Desultor Race, riders had to dismount from their horses and swiftly jump back on as they raced along. The image transports us to ancient times, where we witness the sheer determination etched on the athlete's face. His muscular physique speaks of his rigorous training and unwavering dedication to his craft. As he stands tall with one hand gripping his well-deserved trophy, we can almost feel the energy pulsating through him. The mosaic itself is a testament to Roman artistry and craftsmanship. Its intricate details depict not only the victorious athlete but also decorative flooring surrounding him – a house near an olive press. This adds depth and context to our understanding of daily life in that era. Hannah Armstrong's expert photography brings this historical masterpiece into focus, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even centuries later. With no copyright restrictions attached, this print serves as both an artistic delight and a valuable educational resource for those interested in ancient sports culture.
