EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Horatius Cocles saves Rome" transports us back to ancient times when the fate of a great civilization hung in the balance. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in Roman history. The scene unfolds on a majestic bridge that spans the Tiber River, with Rome's iconic architecture serving as a backdrop. Horatius Cocles, a legendary Roman hero, stands at the forefront of the image. His resolute expression and poised stance exude bravery and determination. In this dramatic illustration for Magna Carta Stories, we witness Horatius Cocles defending his beloved city against invading forces. With unwavering courage and selflessness, he single-handedly holds off hordes of enemies while his fellow Romans scramble to destroy the bridge behind him – ensuring their safety but leaving him stranded on enemy territory. This powerful artwork symbolizes not only Horatius Cocles' heroic act but also embodies timeless themes such as liberty and freedom. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have risen above adversity to protect what they hold dear. Preserved within private collections until now, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of humanity's enduring spirit and our capacity for extraordinary acts of valor in defense of our cherished ideals.
