EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of one of the most significant events in ancient Greek history: the sacking of Athens by the Roman army under the command of Sulla in 88 BC. The once great and prosperous city lies in ruins, with its proud citizens left to mourn the destruction of their cultural heritage. The Roman invasion of Greece was a turning point in the power dynamics of the Mediterranean world. At the time, Athens was a key player in the Hellenistic world, a center of learning and culture. But following the death of the Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla's rival, Mithridates VI of Pontus, Sulla turned his attention to Greece, seeing it as a threat to Rome's dominance. Sulla's army, numbering around 30,000 men, marched on Athens, and the city's defenders, outnumbered and outmatched, were unable to prevent the Romans from entering the city. The Romans looted the temples and public buildings, taking valuable statues, artworks, and other treasures back to Rome as spoils of war. The city's population was sold into slavery, and many of its scholars and intellectuals were forced into exile. This print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the devastation wrought by the Roman invasion of Athens. The image shows the Acropolis, the ancient citadel that had once been the heart of Athenian civilization, now a smoldering ruin. The Parthenon, the temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, can be seen in the background, its once gleaming marble façade defaced and scarred by the ravages of war. The scene is one of desolation and despair, a poignant reminder of the fragility of human civilization and the destructive power of conquest.
