A Roman Attack on the Britons in Mona - A Glimpse into Early British Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Lancelot Speed in 1860, offers a vivid depiction of a historical event - a Roman attack on the Britons in Mona. The print showcases an intense battle scene unfolding along the shores of Anglesey, as invading Roman legions clash with defiant British warriors. The image portrays chaos and desperation as disheveled Britons fight back against their well-armed adversaries. Women and priests can be seen among them, fiercely defending their land with uplifted arms and brandishing weapons. The air is filled with shrieking curses and howling furies, creating an atmosphere charged with tension. Amidst this tumultuous scene, one cannot help but notice the presence of druids donning white robes – symbols of ancient wisdom and religious authority. Their role in this conflict adds another layer to the narrative, highlighting the clash between different belief systems. Speed's attention to detail brings history to life; every figure exudes emotion through their expressions and body language. Through his artistry, he transports us back to early Britain - a time when its people fought valiantly against foreign invaders while clinging onto their cultural heritage. This remarkable print serves as both a visual spectacle and an educational tool for those interested in understanding the complexities of ancient conflicts. It reminds us that history is not just about dates or names; it is about real people who lived through extraordinary events like these - events that shaped our world today.
