EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Harris Valda is a captivating print that takes us back in time to ancient Rome. This powerful image, captured circa 1920 and published in Hutchinsons History of the Nations, depicts a scene filled with drama and intensity. In this engraving, we witness a group of Roman soldiers clad in armor, standing united amidst pouring rain and flashes of lightning. The stormy weather serves as a backdrop to their unwavering faith and determination. These brave warriors are known as "The Thundering Legion" renowned for their prayers during battle which were believed to have summoned divine intervention. Valda's attention to detail is evident in the intricate costumes and weapons worn by these soldiers. Their stoic expressions reveal both strength and vulnerability as they face the chaos around them. This artwork not only captures an important moment in history but also highlights the intersection between religion, science, and meteorology. It prompts us to contemplate how our understanding of weather patterns has evolved over time while acknowledging the role faith played in ancient civilizations' interpretation of natural phenomena. "The Thundering Legion" is an evocative piece that transports viewers into the heart of Roman history while igniting curiosity about our own relationship with climate and its impact on human experience.
