EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Territorial Expansion of Rome" a vivid and detailed colour lithograph created by William R. Shepherd in 1871-1934. The image, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in the Historical Atlas by Shepherd, published in 1924. The artwork depicts the remarkable growth and influence of ancient Rome as it expanded its territories across Europe, Africa, and Asia. With meticulous attention to detail, Shepherd highlights key cities such as Carthage and Alexandria that played significant roles during this era. As we delve into this mesmerizing visual representation of history, we are reminded of the power and grandeur associated with Roman civilization. Mythological figures grace the corners of the map, symbolizing both their importance within Roman culture and their connection to pagan beliefs prevalent at that time. Through this extraordinary piece of artistry, viewers can explore not only geographical boundaries but also gain insights into religious practices prevalent during antiquity. The polytheistic nature of Roman religion is subtly hinted at through references to paganism and polytheism throughout the image. With each glance at this historical treasure trove captured on paper, one cannot help but be transported back in time to an era where empires rose and fell while shaping our world today. This print serves as a testament to human ambition for expansion while simultaneously offering glimpses into ancient mythologies that once held sway over countless lives.
