EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Rome saved by the Sacred Geese of Juno" takes us back to a defining moment in ancient Roman history. Illustrated by an anonymous English artist from the 20th century, this artwork is part of H. G. Wells' renowned publication, The Outline of History. The scene depicted here transports us to the Battle of Allia, fought between 390-387 BC. Following a devastating defeat that left Rome vulnerable to invasion, legend has it that Marcus Manlius Capitolinus was alerted to the impending Gallic attack by none other than the sacred geese of Juno. In this lithograph, we witness warriors climbing and attacking a fortified garrison as they attempt to breach Rome's defenses. The intensity and determination on their faces are palpable as they strive for victory against all odds. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and drama to this historical moment, emphasizing both the gravity of the situation and the heroism displayed by those defending Rome. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great peril, hope can arise from unexpected sources. This print not only captures an iconic event but also showcases how art can bring history alive through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand one of Rome's most legendary tales - where bravery met divine intervention in its darkest hour.
