EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century offers a glimpse into the Roman political system, specifically focusing on the Senate. The artwork depicts Marcus Porcius Cato, also known as Cato the Elder or Cato the Censor, a prominent Roman statesman of his time. In this scene, he is seen leading his policy against Carthage's economic power during a Senate session in ancient Rome. The artist skillfully captures the essence of political discourse and communication within this historical setting. The attention to detail in depicting each senator engaged in deep conversation showcases their dedication to public service and decision-making for the benefit of Rome. Caton concludes his impassioned speech with an iconic phrase that has echoed through history: "We must destroy Carthage". This powerful statement encapsulates both his determination and commitment to protect Rome's interests at all costs. The late 19th-century chromolithography technique used by Stefano Bianchetti adds depth and vibrancy to this remarkable print. It allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as a visual representation of one of Rome's most crucial institutions. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand the complexities and dynamics of ancient Roman politics. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human nature remains constant when it comes to matters of governance and power.
