EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic detail from El Djem, Tunisia. Dating back to the 2nd century, it depicts an enchanting scene of Infant Dionysus Riding on a Tiger. The vibrant colors and intricate craftsmanship bring this ancient artwork to life. The image captures the mythical infant god Dionysus, known as Bacchus in Roman mythology, fearlessly riding atop a majestic tiger. This fusion of Greek and Roman mythology is beautifully portrayed in this mosaic artifact uncovered at the Trajan Baths in Acholla, Tunisia. The childlike innocence of Dionysus is evident as he confidently holds onto the feline's mane while enjoying his wild ride. The expressive details on both figures highlight their connection and harmonious relationship. Located in El Djem, this extraordinary piece serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Tunisia. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic prowess of ancient Rome and its influence across different regions. This photograph not only captures an exquisite work of art but also invites us to delve into tales from classical mythology. It reminds us that even centuries later, these stories continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for the creativity of our ancestors.
