EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Scipio's Dream: A Timeless Legacy of Wisdom" In this evocative print from the annals of ancient history, Roman general Scipio Aemilianus is depicted in a deep slumber, his face etched with the lines of concentration as he receives counsel from the ghostly figure of his illustrious grandfather, Scipio Africanus. The scene, set against the backdrop of a tranquil Roman landscape, is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between generations and the power of wisdom passed down through the ages. Scipio Aemilianus, born in 185 BC, was a renowned military leader and statesman, who rose to prominence during the late Roman Republic. He was not, however, of noble birth, but rather a scion of the plebeian branch of the Scipio family. To legitimize his claim to the name and the prestige it carried, Scipio Aemilianus traced his lineage back to the legendary Scipio Africanus, the conqueror of Carthage in the Second Punic War. The story of Scipio's dream, as recounted by the historian Plutarch, unfolded in the year 133 BC, when Scipio Aemilianus was on the cusp of embarking on a military campaign against the Numidian king, Jugurtha. In his dreams, Scipio was visited by the spirit of his illustrious grandfather, who imparted valuable advice and encouragement, bolstering the younger man's resolve and strengthening his belief in his divine right to bear the Scipio name. This print, with its intricate details and nuanced portrayal of the characters, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Roman history and the enduring power of the human spirit. The paranormal encounter between Scipio Aemilianus and Scipio Africanus serves as a testament to the timeless nature of wisdom and the indelible mark that the past can leave on the present. Circa 133 BC.
