EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from ancient Roman history, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the humble and virtuous farmer, is called away from his simple life in the field to serve as Consul of the Roman Republic. The year is 460 BC, and Cincinnatus, with a modest ox yoked to the plow, is shown in the midst of his agricultural labors. The scene is one of tranquility and contentment, as the farmer plies his trade, surrounded by the fruits of his labor. Suddenly, the call to duty comes. The Roman Senate, in need of a strong and capable leader, summons Cincinnatus from his field. The oxen, sensing the disruption, pause in their work, looking up at their master with curious anticipation. Cincinnatus, a man of unwavering virtue and modesty, does not hesitate. He lays down the plow and sets off to answer the call of his country. This historical event, which took place in 519 BC and was repeated in 438 BC, is a testament to the enduring values of the ancient Roman people. Cincinnatus's life, marked by a deep commitment to agriculture and a readiness to serve his country when needed, became a model of heroic leadership and selflessness. His story continues to inspire us today, a reminder of the power of humility, virtue, and the simple pleasures of rural life. This print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of this remarkable moment in history, transporting us back to a time when the fields of Rome were worked by the hands of its greatest leaders.
