EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Vae Victis (Woe to the conquered)" by the French School in the 19th century, showcases a powerful and thought-provoking scene from ancient Rome. The image depicts a Roman conqueror standing triumphantly over a defeated city, surrounded by symbols of his victory. The central focus of the artwork is on a chief warrior holding scales, symbolizing justice and judgment. In one scale, he weighs gold - representing the spoils of war that will be taken as ransom from the conquered city. On the other scale lies an unfortunate citizen who represents those who have suffered under Roman conquest. The Latin phrase "Vae Victis" boldly written at the top translates to "Woe to the conquered" emphasizing both the ruthlessness and dominance of Rome during this era. This educational card serves as a reminder of ancient Rome's military might and its impact on civilizations it subjugated. The print not only captures historical events but also highlights significant mottos and sayings associated with conquests throughout history. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon power dynamics, leadership, and consequences faced by those who are vanquished. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this artwork transports us back in time while encouraging contemplation about human nature's darker aspects – ambition, domination, and their effects on societies past and present.
