EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a piece of ancient Roman history - a Roman fire engine or pump, consisting of two double-cylindered force pumps worked by means of a rocking beam. Unfortunately, the rocking beam is now lost to time, but the bronze equipment remains as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Romans.
In ancient Rome, fires were a common occurrence due to the densely packed buildings and wooden construction. This force pump would have been crucial in fighting these fires and preventing widespread destruction and accidents. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this pump speak to the advanced engineering skills of the Romans.
Now housed in a British museum, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of how far firefighting technology has come over the centuries. From simple hand-operated pumps like this one to modern fire trucks equipped with state-of-the-art technology, we owe much to our predecessors for laying the foundation for our current firefighting methods.
As we admire this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, let us take a moment to appreciate those who came before us and paved the way for advancements in fire safety and prevention.
