EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the striking image of Publius Cornelius Scipio, also known as "the African" in Ercolano. The photograph was taken by an Italian photographer in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. Publius Cornelius Scipio was a prominent figure in ancient Roman history, renowned for his military prowess and leadership during the Second Punic War. His nickname "the African" refers to his victory over Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general from North Africa. The bronze sculpture of Scipio depicted in this photograph is believed to have been located at the Museo Nazionale in Napoli (Naples), Italy. It was featured as an illustration in a booklet titled "Ricordo Napoli Sculture" which showcased various sculptures and artifacts from the museum. The image provides us with a glimpse into both art history and ancient Rome's rich cultural heritage. The contrast between light and shadow captured through photography adds depth to this powerful representation of one of Rome's most celebrated military leaders. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations, highlighting their achievements while inviting us to explore their stories further.
