EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Roman transportation with a detailed engraving of Cursus Publicus from 1885. The Cursus Publicus was the official transportation service of the Roman Empire, responsible for delivering mail and passengers across vast distances.
In this image, we see a Veredarius, or horse-drawn carriage, making its way along a well-paved Roman road. The chariot is pulled by majestic horses, symbolizing the speed and efficiency of communication in ancient times. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the hustle and bustle of daily life in Rome, as couriers rush to deliver important messages to distant corners of the empire.
The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the beauty and grandeur of ancient Rome's infrastructure. The carefully laid out paving stones beneath the carriage's wheels speak to the meticulous planning and engineering prowess that went into constructing these roads centuries ago.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when communication relied on horsepower rather than technology. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation and connectivity while also honoring the ingenuity and innovation of our ancestors.
