This splashie is from the brilliant The Eagles of Rome graphic novel series, book two, by badass Swiss-Italian, writer-artist Enrico Marini. I'd previously posted a few more samples on HistoryArt: [NSFW] As I understand it, chariot-racing was an enormous event during the heights of the Roman Empire, and the OP pic is possibly the legendary Circus Maximus or an analogue, which I understand was duplicated in part all around the ancient Roman empire, even across a large swath of Northern Africa. There's also a landslide of information to comment upon in terms of those colorful flags... the Reds, the Blues, the Greens, and the Whites. Each faction (plus a couple others) was backed by powerful financial - political entities, backed by hyper-enthusiastic fan-bases. (haha, fast forward 2Kyrs with futbol, and has anything really changed? XD) In any case, the game I'm currently reviewing: (check that lead video at the game link; it's both scrumptious and hilarious!) |
