A Dying Republic . Sculpture

Consider the most dramatic moment in the history of Rome, a moment stretching over a hundred years, from about 120-110 BC to 30 BC. This is a century of continuous internal troubles, rebellions, an era of decline, crisis, the collapse of the Roman civitas, the Roman Republic.."Blessed is he who has visited this world in its fatal moments." Here is such a fateful moment. Well, a hundred years before eternity is really a minute.So, Eastern luxury, Greek individualism, alien gods and beliefs, the decline of valor within, the departure of people from old traditions, the ruin of farmers, the crisis of the army, the parasitic senate, which concentrates all power, and which no one wants to protect. An army independent of the republic, and a mob that nominates the emperor. Corruption of all officials. The bribery of the proletariat. The indifference of the masses to civil life.The sculpture is made of bronze, wood, leather and covered with gold leaf in 2019.
