EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Seated in chairs of ivory, sat a number of strange, venerable old men" takes us back to the year 1912. In this historical moment captured by artist Ernest Dudley Heath, we witness an intriguing scene from ancient Rome. Three days after the Battle of the Allia, when Gauls advanced on Rome, they were met with an unexpected sight upon entering the Forum. The image showcases a group of silent Roman senators seated in chairs made of ivory. Dressed in their traditional robes and adorned with swords at their sides, these venerable old men exude a sense of power and authority despite being surprised by the invasion. Their expressions range from bemusement to surprise as they observe the bloodstained Gaulish soldiers who have entered their sacred space. The photograph not only captures a significant event in history but also reflects on themes such as politics, warfare, and cultural clash between ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder that even mighty empires can face unexpected challenges and invaders. Ernest Dudley Heath's artistic portrayal skillfully brings this moment to life through his attention to detail and composition. This print is part of The Story of Rome by Mary MacGregor published in 1912 by Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd. , offering viewers a glimpse into both artistry and history simultaneously.
