EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous Roman triumph - a grand civil ceremony and religious rite that honored military commanders who achieved remarkable victories in battle. In Ancient Rome, these triumphant events were held to pay homage to the successful leaders who had led victorious military campaigns or emerged triumphant from foreign wars. The central figure in this illustration is the vir triumphalis, also known as the triumphator, standing proudly in front of a magnificent temple on Capitoline Hill. Adorned with a laurel wreath symbolizing victory, he prepares to offer sacrifices and honor the mighty god Jupiter. A soldier by his side carries a staff bearing the insignia 'SPQR, ' representing the esteemed authority of the Senate and People of Rome. This chromolithograph from an early 20th-century Liebig collectible card series titled 'La Rome Antique' offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman history. The image showcases not only the splendor of ancient temples but also highlights various elements associated with Roman military might – soldiers, commanders, and symbols of power. It transports us back to an era when Rome reigned supreme over Europe as one of history's most formidable empires. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork evokes feelings of awe and admiration for those who shaped ancient civilizations through their leadership and bravery on the battlefield. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with our collective past – where tales of conquests and triumphs continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
