EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print, we are transported back to a time of fierce warfare and strategic battles. The scene depicts the relentless assault of Roman soldiers upon the formidable walls of a fortress. With scaling ladders in hand, these determined warriors climb fearlessly towards their objective, while slings and spears are hurled through the air with deadly precision. However, the defenders within the fortress refuse to yield easily. Armed with nets to entangle their adversaries and hot liquid ready to scorch any intruders, they stand resolute against this onslaught. Spears are thrust forward in defense, aiming to repel these invaders at all costs. Various missiles rain down from above as well, creating chaos amidst the clash of steel. This dramatic image captures both sides locked in a desperate struggle for victory. Each group demonstrates unwavering courage and resourcefulness as they employ every available weapon and tactic at their disposal. The artwork is an illustration taken from "Poliorceticon sive de machinis tormentis telis" by Justus Lipsius (Joost Lips), published in Antwerp in 1605. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient warfare and reminds us of humanity's unyielding spirit even amidst times of conflict.
