EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration of Usseldon, also known as Uxellodunum, an ancient hill fort situated above the picturesque river Dordogne in modern-day France. The artwork is a part of Julius Caesar's Commentaries on his wars in Gaul and the civil war with Pompey, translated into English by Martin Bladen and published in 1706. The image transports us back to a significant moment in history when Rome faced its last rebellion against its authority in Gaul. The Roman siege on Usseldon was met with fierce resistance from the local population who refused to succumb to their oppressors. However, this act of defiance came at a great cost as Rome retaliated brutally. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving depicts a scene filled with tension and chaos. We see burning barrels rolling down the hillside towards Roman soldiers who are attempting to breach the fortifications. A fountain gushes water amidst all this turmoil, symbolizing life's persistence even during times of conflict. This powerful visual representation not only captures the intensity of battle but also serves as a reminder of human resilience against oppression throughout history. It stands as a testament to both Caesar's military prowess and the unwavering spirit of those who dared challenge Rome's dominance. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded that beneath these ancient ruins lie stories waiting to be discovered – tales that speak volumes about our shared past and shape our understanding of present-day societies.
