EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15: Civilis Treating with a Roman Commander, from The War of the Romans Against the Batavians (Romanorvm et Batavorvm societas), 1611 This print captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Depicting Plate 15 from Antonio Tempesta's renowned series, "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians" this image showcases an intense meeting between two powerful figures. In this scene, we witness Civilis, also known as Gaius Julius Civilis, engaging in negotiations with a Roman commander during the infamous Batavian Rebellion. The Dutch artist Otto van Veen masterfully illustrates this historical event through intricate etching techniques.

This artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and diplomacy amid conflict. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to both Italian artistry and its enduring impact on our understanding of ancient civilizations.
