EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the heroic actions of Publius Horatius Cocles, a Roman army officer, during the Battle of the Horatii and Curiatii in 506 or 505 BC. Here, Horatius is depicted standing defiantly on the Pons Sublicius, the ancient Tiber bridge, with his companions Spurius Larcius and Titus Herminius, as they bravely defend Rome against the advancing Etruscan enemy. According to the ancient Roman historian Livy, when the bridge began to give way under the weight of the fighting soldiers, Horatius was ordered to save himself and leave his companions behind. Instead, he chose to hand his sword to a soldier on the Roman shore and, with unwavering courage, swam the Tiber to safety. The bridge was then destroyed, leaving the Etruscan army stranded on the opposite bank. This heroic tale of sacrifice and bravery was later immortalized in a narrative poem by Lord Macaulay, which retold the events leading up to Horatius's legendary single-handed swim. The image of Horatius standing alone on the bridge, with his companions fighting fiercely by his side, has become a symbol of the courage and determination of the Roman Republic's early soldiers. The bridge, now known as the Ponte Sisto, remains an important historical landmark in Rome, a testament to the heroic actions of Publius Horatius Cocles and his companions Spurius Larcius and Titus Herminius.
