EDITORS COMMENTS
Coriolanus, the Roman General: A Tale of Pride and Exile This evocative image captures the poignant moment when the once revered Roman general, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, is banished from the city he had sworn to protect. The historical account of Coriolanus' downfall is a compelling tale of arrogance, suspicion, and the destructive consequences of unchecked ambition. Born into a humble family, Coriolanus rose through the ranks of the Roman military to become a formidable warrior. His military prowess earned him the admiration of the Roman people, who bestowed upon him the honorific title 'Coriolanus' - the savior of Rome. However, his success did not sit well with the Roman Senate, who saw his popularity as a threat to their power. As the years passed, Coriolanus' arrogance grew, fueled by the adoration of the people. Suspicions concerning his political ambitions began to mount, and the Senate, fearing a potential power grab, took action. They manipulated the plebeians, inciting them against Coriolanus, and he was stripped of his military command and banished from Rome. In this print, we see Coriolanus, a man once hailed as a hero, now distressed and in distress, exiled from the city he had defended so valiantly. His family, who had remained loyal to him, are likely among the onlookers, their faces etched with worry and sadness. The ancient ruins of Rome serve as a haunting backdrop, a reminder of the transient nature of power and the consequences of unchecked ambition. This historical event, which took place in 491 BC, serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of arrogance and the destructive power of suspicion. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities of human nature and the enduring power of history to teach us valuable lessons.
