Anthony Antony Enemies Lepidus Octavian Outlaws Proclaim Triumvirate


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative ancient Roman print, the second Triumvirate - Mark Antony, Marcus Lepidus, and Gaius Octavian (later known as Augustus) - are depicted in the act of proclaiming proscriptions against their political enemies. Dated to around 43 BC, this significant historical event marked a dark period in the political landscape of the Roman Republic. The Triumvirate, an informal alliance of the three most powerful men in Rome, had been formed in response to the chaos that followed the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. With the support of the Roman people, the triumvirs sought to restore order and stability to the Republic. However, in order to eliminate their political rivals and consolidate their power, they resorted to the extreme measure of proscriptions - a decree that made their designated enemies outlaws, subject to seizure of their property and execution without trial. Antony, the most flamboyant and charismatic of the triumvirs, is shown in the center of the print, gesturing grandly as he reads the list of proscribed names. To his right, Lepidus, the military strongman, stands with a stern expression, while Octavian, the future emperor, looks on thoughtfully from the left. The print captures the sense of urgency and determination in the triumvirs' actions, as they sought to eliminate any opposition to their rule. The proscriptions were a turning point in Roman history, marking the end of the Republic and the beginning of the imperial era. The eventual victory of Octavian and the establishment of the Roman Empire under his rule would usher in a new era of stability and prosperity, but at a great cost to the Roman Republic and its democratic ideals. This powerful print offers a glimpse into the political machinations of ancient Rome, and serves as a reminder of the complex and often brutal nature of political power.
