EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - Roman soldiers attacking a fortress in the year 1605. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of these ancient warriors as they form a tortoise formation, utilizing their shields to protect themselves from incoming missiles while advancing towards the towering walls. The scene depicted here is taken from Justus Lipsius' renowned work, Poliorceticon, published in Antwerp during the same year. It offers us a glimpse into the world of warfare during the seventeenth century, showcasing both the strategic brilliance employed by Roman soldiers and their determination to conquer fortified structures. The imposing castle stands tall against an Italian backdrop, symbolizing resistance and strength. Its battlements serve as a formidable defense mechanism against these relentless attackers. Meanwhile, our attention is drawn to the brave defenders atop its ramparts who valiantly hold their ground against this fierce assault. In this monochromatic engraving, we witness not only an intense battle but also witness how architecture can be transformed into an instrument of war. This print serves as a reminder of human resilience and adaptability when faced with adversity. As we study this remarkable artwork by Justus Lipsius, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most iconic moments - where bravery clashed with fortification in an epic struggle for dominance on ancient battlegrounds.
