EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the historic moment when Emperor Augustus established the administrative center of Roman Gaul at Lugdunum, known today as Lyon. Created by a French School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the grandeur and significance of this event in ancient history. Intricately detailed, the engraving transports us back to the 1st century BC, where we witness Augustus solidifying his rule over Gaul. The emperor is depicted amidst a ceremonial gathering, surrounded by influential figures from both Roman and Gallic backgrounds. This symbolic act not only marked the establishment of a capital city but also signified Rome's occupation and influence over Gaul. The image captures an important turning point in European history as it represents the integration of Celtic Gaul into the vast Roman Empire. The fusion between these two cultures is evident through elements such as Celtic symbols and attire alongside Roman architectural features. With its rich historical context and artistic finesse, this print serves as a visual gateway to understanding France's past. It offers viewers a glimpse into how Lyon evolved from being an ancient administrative hub to becoming one of Europe's most vibrant cities today. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of Augustus' enduring legacy and his role in shaping not only Lyon but also European civilization itself.
