This print captures the legendary hero Horatius Cocles, also known as Horatius Le Borgne, standing valiantly on the only bridge that crossed the Tiber River. In 507 BC, during a time when the young Roman Republic was under threat from the Etruscan ruler Lars Porsenna, Horatius Cocles bravely defended the bridge against all odds. The engraving by Wilhelm Wagner in 1862 beautifully depicts this mythological hero in action, showcasing his unwavering courage and determination in the face of danger. With his sword drawn and eyes focused ahead, Horatius Cocles stands as a symbol of bravery and resilience for generations to come. As one of Rome's most celebrated heroes, Horatius Cocles' story has been passed down through centuries as a testament to the strength and valor of ancient warriors. His solitary stand against overwhelming forces serves as an inspiration for all who face adversity with unwavering resolve. This stunning image from "Rom" by Wilhelm Wagner is a powerful reminder of the heroic deeds that shaped Rome's history and inspired countless tales of courage and sacrifice. It is a timeless portrayal of bravery in the face of danger, capturing a moment that will forever be etched in our collective memory.
