The Equus caballus was 1 of the final beasts to hold upward tamed past times man. It was alone inwards the latter business office of the 4th millennium BC, somewhere on the fundamental Asian tundra, that the Equus caballus ceased to a mere prey as well as its fate began to interweave ever to a greater extent than closely with that of man.

"The house where the taming of the Equus caballus commencement occurred as well as was farther developed is all the same 1 of the nearly hotly debated issues inwards scholarly literature today. But it would seem illogical to imagine that the Equus caballus began its age-old history of coexistence with human being anywhere other than inwards eastern European as well as the Eurasian tundra", Camin as well as Paolucci write inwards the catalogue published past times Sillabe.
Tools required to principal the brute (bits, snaffle bits, spurs, stirrups as well as so forth) are showcased amongst industrial plant of fine art selected to illustrate, equally straight as well as equally realistically equally possible, the leading piece of job played past times the Equus caballus inwards the ancient world. The circa 100 items on display, from dozens of Italian as well as unusual museums, encompass a menstruum of over 2,000 years stretching from the Early Iron Age to the afterward Middle Ages.
The numerous items on world display for the rattling commencement fourth dimension include the Populonia Gig. This extremely rare illustration of an Etruscan carriage, discovered inwards the so-called "Fossa della Biga" (or "Two-Horse Chariot Ditch") inwards the mid-20th century, has been reassembled next recent restoration commisssioned expressly for this exhibition. The gig, inwards wood, Fe as well as bronze as well as dateable to the early on fifth century BC, was a tedious vehicle used to ship personalities of rank as well as for marriage ceremony processions as well as funeral corteges.
Of unique involvement are too 2 Equus caballus skulls unearthed during excavations inwards the western necropolis of Himera, as well as straight off inwards the Museo Pirro Marconi inwards the Parco Archeologico di Himera. The Syracusans crushed the Carthaginians inwards a bloody battle close Himera inwards 480 BC, inwards the course of didactics of which hundreds of soldiers as well as horsemen were slain. Mass graves for the bodies of the fallen were discovered about the battlefield amongst graves for horses. The skulls on display hither all the same accept their bronze band bits of a sort institute primarily inwards the Iberian peninsula, which would seem to comport out Herodotus' contestation (VII, 165) that the Carthaginian basis forces included Hispanic mercenaries inwards its ranks. This was a fairly unique uncovering because Equus caballus burials were uncommon inwards fifth century Hellenic Republic as well as Magna Graecia, exactly the victory was clearly considered such a magnificent feat that the soldiers as well as their mounts were afforded exceptional recognition.
The human relationship betwixt human being as well as Equus caballus is perfectly encapsulated inwards the Attic red-figure kylix depicting Athena as well as the Trojan Horse straight off inwards the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze. The inner bowl of the cup, painted past times the Sabouroff Painter who worked from 470–460 to 440–430 BC, shows the goddess Athena enthroned, stroking a Equus caballus of epic proportions who sports the tainiai niketeriai or cherry-red woollen bands signifying victory. Most scholars handgrip that this must thence hold upward a depiction of Athena with the Trojan Horse, a symbol of the strategem devised past times the goddess herself which gave the Achaian (Greek) side victory inwards the war.
This as well as many other exhibits recount as well as illustrate the nearly various aspects of the human relationship betwixt human being as well as the horse. From daily life (conjured upward inwards the exhibition past times an extremely rare wooden yoke from the Pisa shipwrecks) as well as children's games to state of war as well as religious ritual, horses were ever a constant presence past times man's side. The final brute to hold upward tamed, the Equus caballus proved capable of carving out a major piece of job for itself inwards the art, gild as well as literature of the ancient world thank you lot to its innate beauty as well as nobility, which inevitably ended upward reflecting too on its rider.
As Eike Schmidt, Director of the Gallerie degli Uffizi, so effectively puts it: "The whole concept of this exhibition appears to hold upward encapsulated inwards 1 of the exhibits on display, a first-class couplet of 4th century BC bronze as well as ivory chanfrons designed to protect the horse's forehead, olfactory organ as well as muzzle: the silhouette of the metallic sheeting, shaped as well as embossed follows the outline of the horse's elongated anatomy, exactly on the inside, far from displaying the anatomy of a horse, it depicts the features of a human confront sporting a helmet on its head. The Equus caballus as well as its passenger instruct a single, fused being. From the Old Stone Age to the destination of the 16th century, the exhibition explores this human relationship which has marked the history of mankind from the outset as well as which is all the same so surprisingly relevant to our ain time".
"Riding Through Time", a multivision production devised as well as directed past times Gianmarco D'Agostino, completes the exhibition with some 300 foursquare metres of screenings. The visual correspondence betwixt the exhibits on display as well as images from life paired with an immersive soundtrack volition unquestionably enrich the visitor's exploration of the friendship betwixt human being as well as Equus caballus downwards the centuries.
The exhibition catalogue is published past times Sillabe.
