The expressive details on both figures highlight their connection and harmonious relationship. Located in El Djem, this extraordinary piece serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Tunisia. It offers us a glimpse into the artistic prowess of ancient Rome and its influence across different regions. This photograph not only captures an exquisite work of art but also invites us to delve into tales from classical mythology.
