EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative ancient Roman print, we witness a heartfelt tribute to the humble geese, whose unassuming presence and distinctive cackling played a pivotal role in the city's history. The scene is set in 390 BC, when Rome was still a fledgling republic, and the city was under threat from the advancing Gauls, led by the formidable chieftain Brennus. As the ominous shadows of the Gaulish war machines loomed over the Roman camp, the sacred geese, kept in the Temple of Juno Moneta, began their warning cacophony. The Romans, alerted by the raucous clamor, were able to mount a successful counterattack, saving the city from certain destruction. In gratitude for their timely warning, the Romans honored these brave geese with a municipal decree. This print, a testament to the enduring significance of this event, depicts the geese being led in triumph through the streets of Rome, adorned with laurel wreaths and garlands. The people of Rome, their faces filled with awe and admiration, line the streets, cheering and celebrating their unlikely heroes. The geese, once mere creatures of the marsh, had become symbols of courage and loyalty, their names forever etched in the annals of Roman history. This poignant moment serves as a reminder that even the most ordinary creatures can make an extraordinary impact on the course of history.
