EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intense and historic Battle of Asculum, where Pyrrhus, King of Epirus and Macedon, bravely fought against the Romans in a bid to defend the Greek city of Taranto in southern Italy. The image depicts the fierce clash between Pyrrhus' army and the Roman soldiers, highlighting the ancient warfare tactics used during this pivotal moment in history.
Despite emerging victorious from the battle, Pyrrhus suffered heavy losses among his men, leading to what is now known as a "Pyrrhic victory" - a term coined to describe a win that comes at great cost. The presence of elephants on the battlefield adds an extra layer of intrigue to this historical event, showcasing the power and might of these majestic creatures in ancient warfare.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of the defining moments in Roman-Greek history. The intensity of the fighting, coupled with the strategic maneuvers employed by both sides, serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both ends for their respective causes. This piece truly encapsulates the essence of war and victory in its rawest form.
