EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The standard bearer of the tenth legion, 55 BC" transports us back to ancient Rome during Julius Caesar's invasion of Gaul. Created in 1864 by artist James William Edmund Doyle, this piece showcases the might and grandeur of the Legio decima Gemina (The Twins Tenth Legion), one of four legions employed by Caesar for his conquest. Set against a picturesque backdrop featuring a serene sea and lush Italian landscape, we witness a momentous arrival. The focal point is an imposing Roman soldier astride a majestic horse, proudly carrying the legion's banner high above his head. His stoic expression reflects unwavering determination and loyalty to Rome. Doyle's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. The vibrant colors breathe life into both man and beast as they wade through shallow waters towards their destination. The flag flutters boldly in the wind, symbolizing power and unity. This artwork not only captures a historical event but also serves as a testament to human resilience and bravery in times of war. It reminds us that throughout history, individuals have fought fiercely for their countries' ideals. "The standard bearer of the tenth legion" stands as an enduring tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to protecting what they hold dear – their homeland, their people, and their way of life.
