EDITORS COMMENTS
The Brick Tower and Musculus at the Siege of Marseilles" is a captivating print that takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by Cornelis Huyberts, this illustration from Caesars Commentaries translated into English by William Duncan transports us to the 18th century. The image depicts the intense battle scene during Caesar's civil war in 49 BC, specifically the siege of Marseille. The city walls stand tall as soldiers clash and confront each other with determination and valor. The imposing Brick Tower serves as a strategic vantage point for both sides, while the formidable Musculus war machine looms nearby, ready to unleash its power. Caesar's forces lay siege to Massilia (modern Marseille) in an attempt to gain control over Gaul. Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, proconsul of Gaul at that time, fiercely opposes Caesar's advances. However, after enduring relentless fighting and resistance from both sides, Caesar emerges victorious. This engraving not only captures the intensity of battle but also provides historical insight into Julius Caesar's firsthand account of his Civil Wars through his Commentarii de Bello Civili. Translated into English by William Duncan in 1753, this work sheds light on one of history's most defining conflicts. "The Brick Tower and Musculus at the Siege of Marseilles" is a testament to human resilience and showcases how ancient warfare tactics were employed during pivotal moments in history. This print serves as a reminder of our past struggles and triumphs while honoring those who fought bravely on both sides.
