EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a pivotal moment in ancient history, depicting the dramatic encounter between Camillus and Brennus during the siege of Rome in 390 BCE. The image shows Brennus, the victorious Gaulish chieftain who has captured Rome, arrogantly throwing his sword into the scales as he demands ransom from the defeated Romans, declaring "Vae victis" - woe to the defeated.
In this tense standoff, Camillus emerges as the hero of the story, bravely stepping forward to save his beloved city. With determination and courage, he is able to negotiate with Brennus and ultimately prevent Rome from falling into enemy hands.
