EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created in the mid-16th century, depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary founding of Rome. The scene unfolds on the outskirts of the city, as depicted in the marginal drawing, with the horseman Mettius Curtius engaged in a fierce fight with Romulus. According to Roman mythology, as recounted by Livy in his "Ab Urbe Condita," Mettius Curtius, a Sabine warrior, had been sent by his father, King Titus Tatius, to challenge Romulus, the founder of Rome, after the two leaders had agreed to a chariot race to determine the ruler of the newly formed city. The print, created around 1543, captures the intensity of the battle, with both figures clad in intricately detailed armor, wielding swords and daggers. The horseman's horse has collapsed under the weight of the struggle, adding to the chaos and drama of the scene. This print is a testament to the enduring power of mythology in shaping the cultural and historical narrative of Rome, and serves as a striking reminder of the legendary battles and campaigns that shaped the cities and towns of ancient Italy.
