EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman relief of a war triereme, providing us with a glimpse into the ancient world. The intricate details of this artefact are truly awe-inspiring. At the prow of the boat, we can clearly see a menacing ram, symbolizing its purpose as a formidable warship. Moving towards the stern, our attention is drawn to the large steering-oar, emphasizing the importance of skilled navigation during battles. The vibrant colours used in this sculpture bring life and vibrancy to an otherwise distant era. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human civilization, transcending time and connecting us to our ancestors' creativity and ingenuity. In this depiction, we witness men rowing together in unison; their muscular forms reflecting their strength and determination in times of conflict. This powerful image evokes emotions related to courage, teamwork, and sacrifice. Transportation played a crucial role in ancient societies, enabling trade routes and military conquests alike. The trireme was at the forefront of naval warfare during Roman times—a testament to their advanced engineering skills. Through this photograph by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in history's rich tapestry while appreciating both artistic mastery and technological advancements from centuries ago.
