EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient historical image, we witness the brave actions of a plebeian named Albinus during the Gallic invasion of Rome in 390 BC. The Gauls, a fierce and formidable enemy, had breached the Roman walls and were rampaging through the city, causing chaos and destruction. Amidst the chaos, the sacred Vestal Virgins, guardians of the Roman hearth and symbolic embodiments of the Roman state, were in grave danger. Fleeing from the invading Gauls, the Vestal Virgins were making their way to the safety of the city of Cumae, located near the Gulf of Naples. Albinus, a humble plebeian, came across the distressed Virgins as they were fleeing and, without hesitation, offered them refuge in his cart. With great courage and determination, he transported them to the temple in Cumae, providing them with much-needed shelter and protection. The temple in Cumae, a place of great religious significance, offered the Virgins a sanctuary where they could safely hide from the invading Gauls. The temple's sacred grounds and walls provided a barrier against the enemy, allowing the Virgins to evade capture and preserve the sacred flame of Vesta. This image captures a pivotal moment in Roman history, where a common plebeian, Albinus, risked his own life to save the Vestal Virgins and ensure the continuity of Roman religious traditions. The courage and selflessness of Albinus serve as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Roman people during times of crisis. The Gallic invasion of Rome in 390 BC was a significant event in Roman history, and the story of Albinus and the Vestal Virgins is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made to protect the Roman state and its sacred traditions. This image, from the extensive collection of historical prints at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the heroism and bravery of the ancient Romans.
