EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the iconic scene of Horatius Cocles defending the bridge. Created in 1890 by an unknown artist, this image is a part of "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" by Edmund Ollier. The engraving showcases the heroism and bravery of Horatius Cocles during the siege of Rome in the 6th century BC. In this historic moment, we see Horatius Cocles standing firm on a bridge, armed with his shield boss and clad in armor, ready to defend his country against enemy forces. His heroic stance exudes strength and determination as he faces off against an unseen adversary. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this illustration, transporting us back to ancient Rome where such acts of valor were celebrated. The attention to detail in capturing every aspect of Roman military attire and weaponry further enhances its historical significance. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the power that literature and art have in preserving our past. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind it and the enduring legacy left by figures like Horatius Cocles. With its rich history and evocative imagery, this print from Heritage Images invites us to reflect on themes of heroism, war, and national defense while appreciating the beauty found within ancient art forms.
