EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a significant moment in Roman history under the reign of Emperor Probus (232-282). The image shows families of Germans, Francs, and Alamans being granted permission to settle on abandoned agricultural lands by the emperor. These settlers, known as deditices, lets, gentiles or Laeti, were communities of "barbarians" from outside the Empire who were allowed to live on imperial territory in exchange for providing recruits for the Roman military.
The scene captures a unique blend of cultures coming together as these foreign settlers are integrated into Roman society. It showcases Probus' forward-thinking policies aimed at bolstering the empire's military strength by incorporating diverse groups into its ranks.
The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the momentous decision made by Emperor Probus to allow these families to establish roots on Roman soil. It serves as a reminder of the complexities and nuances of ancient civilizations and their interactions with neighboring tribes and peoples.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of Roman antiquity that highlights themes of migration, integration, and military strategy during this pivotal period in history.
