Summary
edit| Description |
Français : Mosaique des jeux du cirque, partie gauche (départ) - Musée gallo romain de fourvière (Lyon)
English: Circus race mosaic, left part - archeologic Museum of Lyon France
This pavement was discovered at the beginning of the 11th century on the Presqu’île not far from the Basilica of St. Martin of Ainay. Circuses were very popular throughout the Roman Empire. Unlike courses today, spectators did not bet on numbers, but on one of the four colors that the chariot drivers wore on their jerseys (red, white, blue, and green). But the other lure was the quality of the spectacle that attracted crowds to the circus. Here, two chariots have crashed in the curves. There is no winner in this highly realistic scene: the palm branch is still in the hands of one of the two figures in the center of the median strip. |
