EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment when Brennos, the fearless leader of the Gauls Sennons in the 4th century BC, throws his sword onto the balance. The scale is weighing the ransom of gold demanded from the defeated Romans after their victory in the Battle of Allia on July 18, 387 BC (the sack of Rome). With a fierce cry of "Vae Victis" (woe to the vanquished), Brennos asserts his dominance over his foes. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this miniature painting bring to life this pivotal moment in ancient history. It is part of Romuleon, a compilation of Rome's history by Benvenuto da Imola (1300-1380), housed at Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy. In this image, we see not just a conqueror celebrating his triumph but also a reminder of the harsh realities of war and conquest. The intensity and emotion captured in Brennos' gesture speak volumes about power dynamics and human nature during that tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Rome's most significant defeats through the eyes of its victors. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is often shaped by those who emerge victorious, leaving behind tales both glorious and tragic for generations to come.
