EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Sabattini, after a fresco by Cesare Maccari, we find Appius Claudius Censor, a prominent Roman figure of the 4th century BC. Appius Claudius, also known as Appius Claudius Caecus or Appius Claudius the Blind, was a three-time consul, dictator, and the first Roman censor. He is depicted here as an elderly man with a long, flowing white beard, emphasizing his advanced age and wisdom. Appius Claudius was a patrician, a member of the Roman Senate, and a key political figure during a pivotal period in Roman history. He played a significant role in the development of the Roman Republic, implementing various reforms to improve the administration and morality of Roman society. One of his most notable achievements was the creation of the position of censor, which involved overseeing the moral and social conduct of Roman citizens. The engraving shows Appius Claudius in a group setting, surrounded by other Roman men, likely senators or citizens. He is depicted as a stern and authoritative figure, wearing the toga, the traditional Roman garment. The detail in the engraving is remarkable, with each figure's facial expressions and posture conveying a sense of importance and gravity. This image, published in La Ilustracion Iberica in 1898, offers a glimpse into the life of a significant historical figure from ancient Rome. The engraving, based on a fresco by Cesare Maccari, captures the essence of Appius Claudius Censor, a man who left a lasting impact on the political landscape of ancient Rome.
