EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the commanding presence of Lusius Quietus, a Roman general, as he leads the Moorish Cavalry. The image is a cast taken from Trajan's Column, dating back to AD 110-113. In this historical moment frozen in time, we witness the might and power of the Roman army during the Kitos War (115-117). This conflict was part of the Jewish-Roman wars and saw rebellions by Jews in various regions. However, under General Lusius Quietus' leadership, these uprisings were swiftly crushed by Roman legions. The low relief detail showcases soldiers on horseback engaging in battle with their shields raised high. The riders are dressed uniformly in military attire while riding majestic horses. It is an intense scene where troops confront each other with determination and bravery. This photograph not only serves as a visual representation of ancient warfare but also highlights Emperor Hadrian's dedication to Trajan for his victories over the Dacians. Located at Museo della Civilta Romana in Rome, Italy, this plaster cast holds immense historical significance. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection, viewers can immerse themselves into a pivotal moment in history where military strategy clashed against rebellion - reminding us of both triumphs and conflicts that have shaped our world today.
