EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Discomfiture of the Romans in Thrace" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by George Derville Rowlandson, this engraving captures the intense retreat and disarray faced by Roman soldiers as they make their way homewards through the treacherous lands of Thrace. The image showcases the harsh realities of war, with Roman troops dressed in their distinctive Italian costumes facing off against fierce tribesmen. The expressions on their faces reveal a mixture of fear, exhaustion, and determination as they navigate the hardships of this grueling march. Intriguingly, we witness an attack taking place within this historical scene. This serves as a reminder that even mighty empires like Rome were not invincible and could face defeat at the hands of determined adversaries. As we delve into this piece from Hutchinson's History of Nations published around 1920, it becomes evident that it offers more than just aesthetic appeal. It provides us with a glimpse into ancient Roman history and highlights the challenges faced by these legendary warriors during their conquests. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional artwork that invites viewers to reflect upon our shared human experiences throughout time.
