EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Frontispiece to Pharsalia or The Civil War Between Caesar and Pompey" takes us back in time to the ancient Roman era. Created by Marcus Annaeus Lucan, a renowned classical author of the 1st century AD, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of his epic poem. The image depicts a soldier standing proudly at attention, symbolizing the power and might of Julius Caesar. With his armor gleaming under the sunlight, he holds a tablet inscribed with the title page of Lucan's masterpiece. This detail not only emphasizes the importance of literature but also highlights how poetry played a significant role in shaping history. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago, we are transported into an era where political rivalries were settled through warfare. Lucan's "Pharsalia" narrates one such conflict between two influential figures - Caesar and Pompey - who vied for control over Rome during its turbulent times. The intricate engravings bring life to this historical moment as they showcase meticulous details on both the soldier's attire and surroundings. It is evident that great care was taken by English School artist J. Cole when crafting this piece in 1719. Now preserved within a private collection, this print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve deeper into ancient literature. Let it inspire you to explore more about these fascinating characters and their impact on Roman history through Lucan's poetic lens
