Begs Ejected Lepidus Live Octavian Triumvirate
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative ancient Roman image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the poignant moment of Gaius Marius Lepidus, a prominent member of the Second Triumvirate, being ejected from the powerful ruling body by Octavian (later known as Augustus Caesar) in 36 BC. The Triumvirate, an informal alliance of three men who ruled the Roman Republic, had been formed in 43 BC to restore order after the assassination of Julius Caesar. However, as power struggles and personal ambitions began to surface, the alliance started to fracture. Lepidus, once a trusted ally, found himself on the losing side of the power game. In this scene, he is shown humbly begging for his life from Octavian, who stands sternly before him, his expression revealing a mixture of determination and mercy. The background of the image is filled with the chaos of ancient Rome, with soldiers and onlookers in the distance, adding to the sense of drama and uncertainty. This historical event marked the end of the Second Triumvirate and the beginning of Octavian's rise to power. Lepidus was eventually granted clemency, but his political career was effectively over. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the shifting alliances and power struggles that characterized ancient Roman politics, and the consequences of being on the wrong side of those in power. This print, with its rich details and evocative composition, offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often tumultuous world of ancient Rome. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Roman history and the human stories that lie at its heart.
