Appalling Assassinated Bath Commodus Narcissus Populace Ransacked Strangled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history - the assassination of Emperor Commodus. The scene depicts the shocking act of Narcissus strangling the appalling emperor in his bath, while chaos ensues as the palace is ransacked by the enraged populace of Rome.
The image transports us back to 192 AD, when this dramatic event unfolded and forever changed the course of Roman history. Commodus, known for his tyrannical rule and extravagant lifestyle, met his demise at the hands of those he had oppressed and angered.
The details captured in this photograph are both haunting and mesmerizing - from the opulent palace setting to the look of determination on Narcissus' face as he carries out his deadly deed. The tension and emotion portrayed in this image are palpable, making it a truly captivating piece that brings this historical moment to life.
As we gaze upon this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the complex dynamics at play during this tumultuous time in ancient Rome. It serves as a stark reminder of how power can be fleeting and how even emperors are not immune to their own downfall.
