EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a dramatic scene of a Germanic fortification under attack by Roman soldiers. The print, created by the German School in the 19th century, showcases a historical moment from the Marcomannic Wars during the 2nd century. In this intense battle relief, we witness the clash between two powerful forces as they engage in fierce combat. The Roman soldiers, armed with shields and weapons, relentlessly besiege the stockade defended by brave German warriors. Stone walls and wooden carvings serve as witnesses to this epic confrontation. The artist skillfully captures the tension and chaos of war through intricate details and dynamic composition. Each figure is meticulously carved to convey their determination and bravery in this life-or-death struggle for control. This engraving is based on a detail from the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome, illustrating an important event in Deutsche Geschichte (German History) written by L Stacke in 1882. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back to ancient times when empires clashed and cultures collided. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history filled with triumphs and tragedies alike.
