Attack Defenders Drop Fort Heavy Protected Rocks Romans
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and brutality of ancient warfare as Roman soldiers, shields raised in unison, charge towards a German fort during the Roman campaign of AD 170. The defenders of the fort retaliate by dropping heavy rocks onto the advancing troops, creating a chaotic scene of battle and counter-attack. The Romans, known for their disciplined formations and superior military tactics, were a formidable force to be reckoned with. Protected by their large, rectangular shields, they advanced in a phalanx formation, using their javelins and swords to inflict damage on the enemy. The German defenders, on the other hand, were skilled in the use of the terrain and employed unconventional tactics to defend their fort. In this instance, they utilized the natural resources around them, dropping large rocks from the fort's walls onto the Romans below. This historical event, which took place circa AD 170, marked a significant moment in the Roman conquest of Germania. The Romans, under the leadership of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, were able to expand their empire further north, reaching the Elbe River. Despite the Romans' military prowess, battles such as this one were costly and challenging. The clash of armies, the cries of soldiers, and the thunderous impact of rocks dropping from the fort's walls would have created a scene of chaos and destruction. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war, strategy, and heroism. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history that has shaped our world and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire.
