EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking ancient Roman print depicts the instituting of the Roman Dictatorship, an institution established for crisis situations or special purposes. The Roman Republic's highest magistrate, represented here as Titus Lartius Flavus, or Rufus, sat in supreme power during a set period. According to some historical accounts, the first Dictator was actually Manius Valerius, appointed in 505 BC, but the exact origins of this ancient office remain debated among scholars. The Dictator held the power to rule with absolute authority, making judgments and administering justice as needed. This was an emergency measure, taken only when the regular magistrates were unable to handle the situation at hand. The Dictator's term was limited, ensuring that the power did not become permanent. This print, from the vast archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical events of ancient Rome. The image of Titus Lartius Flavus, deep in discussion with the people, underscores the importance of this figure in Roman society during times of crisis. The Dictatorship was a crucial aspect of the Roman Republic's political system, providing a means to address pressing issues and maintain order. The Roman Dictatorship, with its rich history and intriguing origins, continues to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome's ancient past and the fascinating institutions that shaped it.
