EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Triumphant Chariot Race: A 3rd Century Roman Circus Scene Featuring Auriga and Iubilator" This mosaic, dating back to the 3rd century, showcases an enthralling scene from ancient Roman life - a chariot race at the circus. The central figures of this intricately designed mosaic are the auriga, or charioteer, and the iubilator, the man who signaled the winner. The auriga, dressed in traditional Roman attire, holds aloft a palm branch, a powerful symbol of victory, as he triumphantly rides his chariot. The horses, depicted as strong and agile, pull the chariot with determination, their ears pricked forward in focus. The horses' sweet bay coats gleam under the sun, adding to the overall allure of the scene. The iubilator, standing beside the victorious chariot, raises his whip in a gesture of celebration. His expression exudes joy and excitement, reflecting the thrill of the race and the anticipation of the crowd. The chariot itself, with its ornate carriage and intricate cart design, adds to the decorative arts of the Early Roman Empire. Originating from the Iberian Peninsula, specifically Madrid, Spain, this mosaic is now housed in the National Museum of Archaeology. Its provenance can be traced back to Italy, Lazio, Rome, further emphasizing the widespread influence of Roman culture during the Early Empire. This mosaic is a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of the ancient world, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the Europeans during the imperial ages.
