EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emperor Caligula stands on the shore of Boulogne, France in 40 AD, as depicted in this print. Created by A MacKinlay and featured in Walter Hutchinson's 'Story of the British Nation', this illustration transports us back to the 1st century and offers a glimpse into history. Intriguingly, Caligula's presence on the shores of Boulogne hints at an ambitious invasion plan. The Roman emperor gazes out towards the English Channel, contemplating his next move in conquering Gaul. Behind him, soldiers stand ready for battle while a formidable siege engine looms nearby. The image captures not only the military might of Rome but also showcases the stunning geography of Boulogne with its fortifications and buildings dotting the landscape. Horses graze peacefully amidst all this turmoil, reminding us that life goes on even during times of war. Caligula himself is portrayed as a powerful figure - confident and determined. His malevolent reputation precedes him; however, it is his strategic prowess that takes center stage here. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us to immerse ourselves in ancient Rome while appreciating how events from centuries ago shaped our world today.
