@caitlinrgreen @bexhillmuseum @collectionlinc Love seeing Roman art on a wet and dismal Monday!
@caitlinrgreen This is rather special!
@JAJafri I love the cartoon-like depiction, with a chariot losing a wheel etc!
@caitlinrgreen Must have taken some time to give shape to the artist's imagination!
@JAJafri Indeed, and it's on a large scale---6 metres wide!
@caitlinrgreen you tweet the best stuff, by the way :)
@IPFWMedieval Aw, thank you! :)
@caitlinrgreen this reminds me the great chariot race of Benhur. What an epic it was
@caitlinrgreen. Thank for those. What made Late Roman Lincolnshire ditch naturalism for vibrant colour schemes. Mute col. Were available
@caitlinrgreen @CrombieJIM Wow! What an intricate design. I bet they took a lot of hours painstakingly putting those pieces together.
