EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a panel from the Diptych of Consul Areobindus, an exquisite piece of Byzantine art dating back to 506 AD. Carved in ivory by the skilled hands of the Byzantine School during the 6th century, this panel measures 39x13 cm and is currently housed at the Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris. The intricate relief carving depicts a gladiatorial scene set within the grandeur of Constantinople's amphitheater. The consul himself presides over the opening of celebratory games for his accession, capturing a momentous occasion in history. As gladiators clash and confront each other in battle, their intense fighting spirit is palpable. Every detail on this panel speaks volumes about Roman entertainment and male prowess. From the meticulously carved tribune overlooking the arena to each leaf delicately etched into existence, it is evident that no effort was spared in creating this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the conflict and clash between these brave warriors. The artist skillfully captures both their physical strength and emotional determination as they fight against one another. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers us a glimpse into ancient Rome's fascination with gladiatorial combat. It reminds us of our shared human history filled with battles fought both on physical arenas and within ourselves.
