EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the somber scene of Germanicus burying the bones of soldiers from three Roman legions commanded by Publius Quinctilius Varus, who were brutally destroyed by the Germans at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 BC. The image, created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, showcases a moment of mourning and reflection amidst the aftermath of a devastating battle. Germanicus, depicted as a general with deep sorrow etched on his face, is shown carefully laying to rest the remains of fallen Roman soldiers. The burial site is marked by scattered bones and remnants of armor, serving as a haunting reminder of the fierce confrontation that took place in ancient Germania. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. It was a major setback for the mighty Roman Empire and highlighted both their vulnerability and resilience in foreign lands. This engraving serves as a poignant testament to those who lost their lives in service to Rome's expansionist ambitions. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions through every stroke; capturing not only grief but also admiration for these brave warriors. Through this artwork, we are transported back to that fateful battlefield where two cultures clashed with such ferocity. This print is part of Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held's "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" published in 1880. Its digital restoration ensures its preservation for future generations to reflect upon this significant chapter in history.
