EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Second Punic War: Gauls Refuse to Rise in Favor of Hannibal" takes us back to the ancient conflict between Carthage and Rome. In this historical moment, captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century, we witness a pivotal event during the Second Punic War (218-202 BC). The image portrays Gaulish warriors standing defiantly against the renowned Carthaginian general, Hannibal Barca. Despite his persuasive tactics and military prowess, these brave Gauls refuse to join forces with him against their common enemy - the Roman Empire. Through this engraving, we are reminded of the complexities and intricacies of war. It highlights not only strategic combat decisions but also communication breakdowns and differing allegiances within ancient societies. This artwork offers a glimpse into a significant chapter in African history, specifically North Africa's involvement in one of antiquity's most famous conflicts. The depiction showcases Tunisian landscapes as well as elements of Celtic culture present among the Gaulish people. As we admire this piece from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, it serves as a reminder that even amidst great power struggles and alliances formed on battlefields long ago, there were individuals who stood firm in their convictions and refused to yield under pressure.
