EDITORS COMMENTS
Semiramis of Nineveh, one of the most legendary and enigmatic queens of the ancient world, is depicted in this image as she arrives at the military camp before the city of Bactra. The city, which had been defying the Assyrian forces for some time, was under siege, and Semiramis, renowned for her strength and courage, had come to lead her army in person. The year is 1927, and the scene unfolds before us as a painting from the past. Semiramis, dressed in regal attire, sits confidently atop a magnificent chariot, her face a mask of determination and resolve. Her soldiers, loyal and strong, follow closely behind, their weapons at the ready. As she approaches the camp, she is met by King Ninus, the monarch of the Assyrian forces. The moment they meet, Ninus is captivated by Semiramis' beauty and courage. He is struck by her presence and her ability to lead her army with such strength and conviction. In that moment, he determines to make her his wife, and the two powerful rulers unite, forging an alliance that will change the course of history. The image captures the essence of a time long past, when queens ruled with strength and determination, leading their armies into battle and shaping the destiny of their people. The fortress of Bactra, once a defiant city, now stands as a testament to the power and influence of these great women of the ancient world.
