EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases the remarkable Roman army stables, offering a unique glimpse into their ingenious animal transport system. The image captures a fascinating scene where elephants are stationed at ground level while horses occupy the upper level of these military stables. Dating back to 1605, this copperplate engraving by Justus Lipsius in Antwerp beautifully depicts this innovative architectural design. The composition of this image immediately draws attention to the stark contrast between the majestic elephants and powerful horses within the Roman army's transportation infrastructure. It is evident that careful consideration was given to organizing these animals based on their size and specific roles in warfare. The presence of elephants at ground level suggests their immense strength and stability, making them ideal for carrying heavy loads or serving as formidable war machines on battlefields. On the other hand, placing horses on the upper level highlights their agility and speed, qualities highly valued in military operations. Lipsius' meticulous engraving technique brings out intricate details such as stable structures and individual animals with great precision. This historical artwork not only provides insight into ancient Roman military practices but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity when it comes to efficient animal management. Without mentioning any commercial use, this extraordinary photograph print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance through its portrayal of Roman army stables with distinct levels dedicated to elephants and horses alike.
