EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Catiline at bay" depicts a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. The artwork, created by an unknown English artist from the 19th century, showcases the infamous Catiline Conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina. In this scene, we witness the intense atmosphere of rebellion and accusation as Catiline addresses a group of senators. Dressed in traditional togas, these powerful politicians listen attentively to his impassioned speech. The image captures the tension and drama surrounding this historical event. The second Catilinian conspiracy was an audacious attempt to overthrow the Senate of the Roman Republic. It was met with fierce opposition from figures such as Marcus Tullius Cicero, who denounced Catiline's actions and rallied support against him. The lithograph beautifully portrays the complexity of politics during ancient Rome's tumultuous times. It serves as a reminder of how power struggles and political unrest have always been part of human history. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection and is now in private ownership. Its inclusion in Cassell's Illustrated Universal History demonstrates its significance as a visual representation of an important historical event. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Rome - witnessing firsthand one man's desperate bid for power amidst accusations and revolt within society's highest echelons.
