EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a dramatic scene during the siege of Rome by the Ostrogoths under Vitiges in 537-538. The image showcases Romans bombarding their enemies with an unconventional weapon - marble statues. As the Roman soldiers defend their city, they unleash these majestic sculptures upon their foes, creating a surreal and awe-inspiring sight. The artwork captures the intensity of battle as both sides clash in a desperate struggle for control. The black and white illustration adds to its historical charm, transporting viewers back to this pivotal moment in European history. The use of marble statues as projectiles symbolizes the resourcefulness and determination of the Roman defenders. It also highlights their deep appreciation for art and culture even amidst chaos and conflict. This engraving is part of Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte, an illustrated series that chronicles German history. Its inclusion in this collection demonstrates its significance as a representation of military tactics employed during ancient times. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Rome's resilience but also of humanity's enduring fascination with art and its ability to transcend time.
