EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing a reconstruction of Julius Caesar's siege of Marseilles in 49 BC. The image reveals an innovative military engineering concept known as the musculus or covered way, designed to protect engineers approaching the fortified walls of the besieged city. The landscape is dominated by towering fortifications and a walled town that exudes strength and resilience. The intricate details of the buildings and battlements highlight the advanced technology employed during this era. It is evident that protection and shelter were paramount for both sides involved in this historic conflict. Julius Caesar, renowned Roman general and statesman, strategically led his soldiers through Italy towards Marseilles with one goal in mind: conquest. This print captures a pivotal moment in history when Rome's power was expanding across Europe. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical scene, emphasizing its timelessness while allowing us to focus on the essence of war and military tactics. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago, witnessing firsthand how ancient civilizations fought for dominance. Created by an unknown artist but preserved through time by Ann Ronan Pictures, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition throughout history. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, innovation thrives as individuals strive for victory against all odds.
