EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Gaius Gracchus, the renowned Roman Popularis politician of the 2nd century BC, is seen desperately fleeing across a rickety wooden bridge over the mighty Tiber River. The engraving, taken from Cassells Illustrated Universal History published in 1883, exudes an air of suspense and urgency. In this dramatic scene, Gaius Gracchus is depicted attempting to escape the clutches of relentless Roman consuls who are hot on his trail. With soldiers closing in behind him, he grips a dagger tightly as if ready to defend himself at any cost. The aged wooden planks beneath his feet seem fragile under the weight of both fear and historical significance. This archival image transports us back to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into a tumultuous period marked by political strife and power struggles. It serves as a reminder of Gaius Gracchus' unwavering commitment to championing popular causes despite facing formidable opposition. Ken Welsh's skillful preservation of this historical illustration allows us to appreciate its vintage charm while contemplating the bravery and determination exhibited by figures like Gaius Sempronius Gracchus during one of Rome's most transformative eras.
