EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in ancient Roman warfare. The image showcases the ingenuity and strength of Roman soldiers as they construct a formidable Tortoise formation using their shields. This reconstruction, based on Justus Lipsius' Poliorceticon sive de Machinis Tormentis Telis from 1605, offers us a glimpse into the strategic brilliance of these warriors. The soldiers are seen meticulously aligning their shields to create an impenetrable barrier strong enough for chariots to drive over. Each shield is interlocked with precision, forming an impervious shell that protects them from enemy projectiles and assaults during battle. The attention to detail in this copperplate engraving highlights the meticulous nature of Roman military tactics. It speaks volumes about their commitment to innovation and adaptability on the battlefield. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, we can almost hear the clamor of war echoing through time. We witness the determination etched onto each soldier's face as they work together harmoniously towards victory. This photograph print serves as a testament to the power and resilience of ancient Rome's military might. It allows us to marvel at their ability to transform simple tools like shields into complex defensive structures capable of withstanding even the most relentless attacks. Through this image, we gain insight into an era where courage, discipline, and unwavering unity were essential qualities for survival in times of conflict.
