EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of fateful warning given by the ancient Roman haruspice, Spurina, to Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Haruspices were diviners in ancient Rome who interpreted the will of the gods through the examination of the entrails of sacrificed animals. Spurina, a respected and skilled haruspex, had been summoned to the Senate House in Rome to perform a divination ritual for Caesar. As he carefully examined the liver of the sacrificed animal, his face grew grave and his voice trembled as he uttered the ominous words, "Caesar, beware the Ides of March." The Ides of March, the 15th of the month in the Roman calendar, was traditionally considered an unlucky day. But for Caesar, it would prove to be a day of great significance. Just days after Spurina's warning, Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators who feared his growing power and ambition. The historical significance of this moment is still debated among historians and scholars. Some believe that Spurina's warning was a genuine attempt to warn Caesar of the impending danger, while others see it as a convenient excuse used by Caesar's enemies to justify their actions. Regardless of the truth, the image of Spurina warning Caesar has become a powerful symbol of the role of divination and the supernatural in ancient Roman society. This print, from the Mary Evans Collection, captures the drama and intrigue of this pivotal moment in history. The dark, moody background and the intense expression on Spurina's face create a sense of foreboding, while the detailed depiction of the sacrifice ritual adds authenticity to the scene. This image is a reminder of the enduring fascination with the mysteries of the ancient world and the role of the unknown in shaping human history.
