EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient history, Cloelia, a brave Roman noblewoman, is depicted leading a group of Roman girls in their daring escape from Etruscan captivity. The scene unfolds along the banks of the Tiber River, with Cloelia, a hostage given to the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna of Clusium, leading her fellow captives back to Rome. The year is 508 BC, and Rome was under siege by the powerful Etruscan army, led by Porsenna. In a desperate bid to secure peace, the Romans offered their daughters as hostages. However, Cloelia, a woman of exceptional courage and determination, refused to be held captive any longer. With the Tiber River as their only means of escape, Cloelia and several other Roman girls took a calculated risk. They waited until nightfall, when the Etruscan guards were less vigilant, and then swam across the river to freedom. The girls managed to make it back to Rome, where they were hailed as heroes and welcomed with open arms. This historical event is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the ancient Romans and their unwavering commitment to their city. Cloelia's daring escape not only brought hope and inspiration to her people but also marked a significant turning point in Roman history. The Tiber River, which had once served as a barrier, became a symbol of freedom and a pathway to safety. This evocative print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when courage, determination, and the will to survive shaped the course of history.
