Description:

Wall panel in opus sectile from Rome, Basilica of Junius Bassus (basilica Iunii Bassi), a civil basilica on the Esquiline Hill built by Junius Annius Bassus in 331 during his consulate. It is best known for its examples of opus sectile work, a type of inlay which is considered a rarer and more luxurious art than straightforward mosaic. The panel depicts a two-horse chariot bearing the presiding magistrate (probably Junius Bassus or his son) at a pompa circensis ("circus parade"). The four horsemen behind him represent the colors of the four racing stables (red, blue, green, and white) of the Circus Maximus. From the collection of the Palazzo Del Drago.
