EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Tunisia transports us back to the ancient Roman civilization of the 3rd century A. D. It showcases a mesmerizing mosaic depicting Arion, a legendary poet and musician, riding atop a majestic dolphin. The intricate details of this artwork can be seen in full length, showcasing the mastery of ancient craftsmen. The setting is Henchir Thyna, an ancient city known as Thaenae in Roman times. This particular mosaic was discovered in the Baths of Henchir Thyna, adding to its historical significance. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies within these ruins. Arion's traditional clothing adds authenticity to this portrayal while his serene expression suggests harmony with nature. The dolphin gracefully carries him through the sea waves, symbolizing their deep connection and mutual respect. The zigzag patterns surrounding them enhance the visual appeal and highlight their movement against a backdrop of vibrant colors. This masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate how it bridges our present with an illustrious past filled with wonderment and creativity.
