EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative ancient Roman print, Cippius Genutius, a victorious general, stands in awe as he discovers the mysterious appearance of horns on his head following a hard-fought battle. The year is uncertain, but this intriguing event is believed to have taken place in the early stages of Roman history. Cippius Genutius, a man of humble origins, had risen through the ranks of the Roman military through sheer determination and skill. However, he harbored a deep-seated contempt for the opulence and political machinations of the Roman monarchy. His unwavering disdain for royalty was a well-known fact among his comrades and the Roman populace. As the print reveals, the gods seemed to have other plans for Cippius Genutius. The appearance of the horns on his head was believed to be a divine sign that he would one day be made king of Rome. However, the thought of accepting the throne filled him with dread. The print captures the moment of revelation, as Cippius Genutius gazes at his horns in disbelief, his expression a mix of shock, fear, and resignation. The background depicts the chaos of the battlefield, with soldiers and horses in the midst of battle, adding to the sense of historical significance. Despite the divine mandate, Cippius Genutius chose to forgo his destiny and instead sought exile, preferring a life of simplicity and freedom over the burdens of royalty. This brave decision, born out of his deep-rooted convictions, is a testament to his strength of character and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. This print, with its rich historical context and intriguing narrative, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of ancient Rome and the complexities of human nature. It is a reminder of the power of personal conviction and the courage it takes to stand by one's beliefs, even in the face of divine mandate.
