The Romans Bid Farewell to Britain - A Lasting Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, depicts a significant moment in history - the departure of the Romans from Britain around c410. The image is part of a series of prints illustrating English history by Mrs Trimmer. In this scene, we witness an army of Roman soldiers and their female counterparts preparing to leave British shores for the final time. The composition showcases a vast fleet of ships, including freighters and tankers, along with smaller vessels like boats and tugboats. These maritime vehicles symbolize the means of transport employed during that era. The print not only captures historical events but also provides insight into ancient Rome's military might and organizational skills. It highlights how troops were deployed strategically as combat units across Europe under the Roman Empire's banner. As we delve into this black-and-white masterpiece, it becomes evident that this engraving serves as a reminder of both antiquity and ancient Rome's influence on European history. The soldiers depicted here represent not just conquerors but also builders who left behind an enduring legacy through architecture, governance systems, language (Latin), and cultural assimilation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from its private collection for us to admire today. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness one chapter closing while another begins – marking an important turning point in British history as well as shaping our understanding of Europe's past.
