EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in the rich history of Roman military tactics, as Roman troops launch a relentless assault on a Parthian town using a battering ram, circa 200 AD. The powerful ram, adorned with a menacing ram's head at its business end, is a testament to the engineering prowess and military might of the Roman legions. The scene unfolds with Roman soldiers, clad in armor and wielding weapons, preparing to breach the fortified walls of the Parthian town. With grit and determination etched on their faces, they apply all their strength to push the ram against the city gates. The defenders, sensing the imminent threat, hurl projectiles and rain arrows upon the advancing Romans, but to no avail. This historical tableau is a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of ancient warfare and the complex strategies employed by both sides during sieges. The Roman legions, led by the renowned general Septimius Severus, were known for their meticulous planning and unyielding tenacity. The Parthians, on the other hand, were renowned for their cavalry and archery skills, making this engagement a formidable test of military prowess. The intricate details of the print, from the individual soldiers' expressions to the intricate carvings on the ram, bring this moment in history to life. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of empires hung in the balance and the clash of arms decided the course of history.
