EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous occasion of Caesar disembarking in Britain in 54 BC, a pivotal event in ancient Roman history. The image depicts Caesar's ships placed on dry ground within his camp, showcasing the military tactics and strategies employed by the great general during this conquest.
The engraving from Count Turpin de Crisse's "Commentaires de Cesar" provides historical context and critical insights into Caesar's campaign in Britannia. This volume, published in Montargis and sold in Paris in 1785, offers a detailed account of Caesar's navigation across the sea to reach the shores of Britain.
In this scene, we see the formation of Caesar's troops as they prepare for their invasion of Britain. The Roman soldiers stand ready within their walled enclosure, with boats and ships from Caesar's fleet anchored nearby. The image conveys the power and might of the Roman Empire as it expands its territory into new lands.
Through this photo print, we are transported back to a time when Julius Caesar led his legions to conquer new territories and establish Rome as a dominant force in Europe. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination that fueled Caesar's ambition for greatness.
