EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic moment of the defeat of the Fabian army during the Second Punic War. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, depicts the strategic brilliance of Fabius Maximus, also known as Cunctator or Ovicula. In this scene, set in Campana in 217 BC, we witness Fabius Maximus implementing his unique strategy against Hannibal Barca's looting army. The engraving showcases a battlefield filled with Roman and Carthaginian soldiers engaged in combat. It is a testament to both the strength and determination of these ancient warriors. Fabius Maximus employed a tactic known as usury to counter Hannibal's aggressive advances. By avoiding direct confrontation and instead focusing on wearing down his opponent through attrition tactics, he managed to turn the tide of battle. This image not only highlights a significant event from history but also serves as a reminder of the power and resilience exhibited by those who fought for their respective empires during this tumultuous period. The Fine Art Finder collection has preserved this remarkable piece that offers viewers an insight into one of Rome's most celebrated military leaders and his role in shaping ancient warfare strategies.
