Italian chess set greeks vs romans – hand painted resin pieces & leather board – 35x35 cm – made in Italy

In a time when empires ruled the world, two civilizations rose above the rest — the Greeks, masters of philosophy, art, and strategy, and the Romans, builders of an empire founded on discipline and might. Though centuries apart, their ideals clashed in an eternal struggle for dominance. The Greeks, led by brilliant philosophers and heroic warriors, prized intellect and innovation. Their armies moved like poetry on the battlefield. The Romans, by contrast, embodied power and order, their legions marching as one unstoppable force. Their rivalry was more than a clash of swords — it was a battle of minds, cultures, and ideals. While the Greeks sought to inspire the soul, the Romans aimed to conquer the land. Together, they shaped the course of Western civilization and left a legacy of art, governance, and warfare that echoes through the ages. This timeless battle between brilliance and might continues to capture our imagination — a testament to the enduring power of both Greeks and Romans. Product Details: ?
