EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 2nd century AD as we witness the "Triumph of Neptune". The mighty Roman god of the sea, known as Neptune in Roman mythology and Poseidon in Greek mythology, takes center stage. With his trident held high, a symbol of his power and authority over the waters, Neptune exudes an aura of dominance. What truly sets this image apart is Neptune's grand chariot. Pulled by horses with dolphin tails, it gracefully glides through the waves. This mosaic masterpiece from Sousse (Susah) showcases exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we admire this artwork displayed at Bardo Museum in Tunis today, it prompts us to reflect on ancient mythologies and their enduring influence on our culture. It serves as a reminder that these tales have transcended centuries and continue to captivate our imagination. Beyond its mythical allure lies a deeper narrative intertwined with history. The colonial era witnessed an appropriation of such symbols by various cultures seeking to assert dominance over others. However, let us not dwell solely on those aspects but instead appreciate the artistic brilliance behind this mosaic. This print invites us into a world where gods ride triumphantly across oceans while leaving room for contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature and power dynamics throughout history.
