EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient history, a group of cackling geese stands alert atop the Capitol in Rome, their watchful eyes fixed on the horizon. The year is 390 BC, and the city is on high alert as news of an approaching enemy threat spreads like wildfire. The ominous figure looming in the distance is that of Brennus, the fearsome leader of the Gauls, who have set their sights on the heart of the Roman Republic. The geese, with their keen senses and natural warning instincts, had detected the Gauls' approach long before the Roman soldiers did. Their cacophonous cackling alerts the sleeping city to the imminent danger, giving the Romans precious time to prepare for battle. This event, known as the "Sacred Geese of the Capitol," is a testament to the vital role animals played in ancient civilizations, and the importance of being attuned to the natural world. The Capitol, a hill in Rome that housed the temples of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, was considered the spiritual center of the city. The image of the geese on the Capitol, therefore, holds significant symbolism, not only as protectors of the city but also as guardians of the Roman gods. This evocative print, with its rich historical detail and timeless beauty, transports us back to a bygone era, where the natural world and the divine intertwined to shape the course of history. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of being vigilant, of listening to the whispers of the natural world, and of the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
