EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Cologne Troops Bring Civilis' Wife and Sister to Cerialis," is a striking depiction of an event from the Batavian Rebellion, a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Created by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1612, this work is part of a larger series called "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians." The Batavian Rebellion, also known as the Revolt of the Batavi, took place in the year 69 AD during the Roman-Batavian War. Gaius Julius Civilis, a Batavian chieftain, led a rebellion against the Roman Empire, uniting various Germanic tribes in a common cause. In this etching, we see Civilis' wife and sister being escorted to the Roman commander, Cerialis, by a group of Cologne troops. The women are shown wearing traditional Germanic garb, while the soldiers are dressed in armor, adding to the contrast between the two cultures. This work is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Baroque era. It has been preserved and is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in California, USA. The intricate details and lettering in the etching provide a glimpse into the events of the past, offering a unique perspective on the complex relationship between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes of Europe. This etching is not only an important piece of art but also a valuable historical document, shedding light on the Batavian Rebellion and the role of figures like Civilis in shaping the ancient world.
