EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1910 takes us back to ancient Rome, specifically the iconic Colosseum. The image captures a gladiatorial fight in progress, with all eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. In the midst of this intense battle, one figure stands out - a woman boldly giving a thumbs down gesture. This powerful symbol of disapproval adds an intriguing layer to the scene. The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was a place where thousands gathered to witness these brutal spectacles. Gladiators fought for their lives while spectators cheered or jeered their every move. This photograph provides a glimpse into this historic era and showcases both men and women among the crowd. The sepia-toned image lends an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this snapshot in time. It is part of Enrico Verdesi's collection titled "Cento Vedute Classiche di Roma" which beautifully captures various classic views of Rome. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back over a century ago when such battles were not only entertainment but also reflections of Roman society's values and attitudes towards violence. The presence of weaponry - shields and daggers - further emphasizes the intensity and danger that permeated these events. Overall, this print serves as a fascinating historical document that allows us to explore ancient Rome through its most famous landmark: the Colosseum.
