EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph by Dietrich, based on an illustration by G. Cel from Antonio Niccolini's "Pompeii: Views and Restorations," offers a glimpse into the grandeur and violence of the ancient Roman Games held in the amphitheater of Pompeii. The interior of the amphitheater comes alive with the excitement of a Venatio, an event where gladiators battled wild animals for the entertainment of the Roman populace. Naked and armed with shields and swords, the gladiators engage in fierce combat with a lineup of formidable beasts - bulls, boars, and tigers. The arena, once filled with the roar of the crowd, now echoes with the grunts of the combatants and the snarls of the animals. The scene is a stark reminder of the brutal reality of ancient Roman entertainment, where man and beast clashed in a deadly dance of power and survival. The intricately detailed illustration, published by Fausto Niccolini in Naples in 1898, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the history and culture of Pompeii.
