EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing juxtaposition of Eastern chariots and Roman women in an ox-cart, as depicted on ancient coins. The chariots, a symbol of power and wealth in the Eastern world, are mostly represented here from the Roman, Persian, and Sidonian cultures. In the center, a Roman woman sits comfortably in an ox-drawn cart, watched intently by a soldier. The chariots, with their ornate designs and intricately carved wheels, are adorned with various symbols, including horses and horse heads, reflecting the influence of Greek and Eastern artistic styles. The Roman chariot, on the other hand, is simpler in design, with the iconic SPQR inscription and a soldier wearing a helmet. The coins, an essential means of exchange during this period, bear witness to the cultural exchange and interconnectedness between the Eastern and Roman worlds. The inscriptions on the coins are in Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts, further emphasizing the multicultural influences at play. This fascinating image offers a glimpse into the rich history of ancient transportation and the intriguing interplay between different civilizations.
