EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving takes us back in time to Ancient Rome, showcasing the impressive weaponry used during sieges. Created by Heinrich Leutemann in 1866 as part of his series "Pictures from Antiquity" this print captures the essence of Roman military might. The focal point of the image is a Ballista, a powerful siege machine employed by the Romans to launch large projectiles at enemy fortifications. Its intricate design and imposing size are brought to life through Leutemann's skilled hand. Surrounding the Ballista are soldiers clad in armor, ready for battle with their spears and lances held high. Leutemann's attention to detail transports us into this ancient world, where we can almost hear the clashing of weapons and feel the tension on the battlefield. The colours chosen add depth and richness to every element depicted, enhancing our understanding of Roman warfare. This print serves as a testament to both historical accuracy and artistic talent. It allows us to appreciate not only the ingenuity behind these ancient war machines but also highlights Leutemann's ability to capture history through his engravings. Whether you're an enthusiast of military history or simply fascinated by Ancient Rome, this artwork offers a glimpse into a long-gone era that continues to intrigue us today.
