EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Port of Taranto (Tarentum) in the year 1764. Housed in a private collection, this fine art image showcases an intriguing blend of history and cartography. The scene transports us to ancient Rome during the Second Punic War, where Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general, made his mark. The graphic arts come alive through this copper engraving as we witness a pivotal moment in history unfold. The Roman Empire clashes with their archenemies, the Carthaginians. This battle near Zama would ultimately shape the course of both empires. As we delve into this masterpiece, it is impossible not to be captivated by Joseph Roux's meticulous attention to detail. Every stroke tells a story; every line reveals a piece of forgotten history. We can almost hear the trumpets blaring and feel the ground tremble beneath our feet as Scipio Africanus leads his Roman army against Hannibal's forces. Taranto itself stands proudly amidst this chaos—a city deeply rooted in Phoenician heritage and once known as Taras. Its strategic location played a significant role throughout these wars between Rome and Carthage. Let us cherish this remarkable print for its historical significance and artistic brilliance—an homage to an era long gone but forever etched into our collective memory.
