This print showcases a pair of Roman bronze horse-shoes, also known as Hippo-sandals, displayed at the Rheims Museum. Dating back to the 1st-2nd century, these remarkable artifacts provide us with a glimpse into ancient equestrian practices in Italy. The image is captured in vivid color, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship of these horseshoes. The studio shot emphasizes every curve and contour of the bronze shoes, highlighting their historical significance. These horse-shoes were not only functional but also symbolized status and wealth during Roman times. They were designed to protect horses' hooves from wear and tear while providing stability on various terrains. As we delve into this image, we are transported back centuries ago when Romans relied heavily on horses for transportation and warfare. The Rheims Museum serves as a custodian for such invaluable relics that connect us with our past. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures this artifact's essence through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This photograph by Mike Dixon reminds us of the importance of cherishing our cultural heritage and understanding how it shapes our present-day society.
