The Geese that Saved Rome - A Symbol of Heroism and Resilience
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from the MacMillan school posters dating back to the 1950-60s, depicts a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases an engraving by Henri-Paul Motte, capturing a pivotal event known as "The Geese that Saved Rome". During a time of invasion and turmoil, when barbarians threatened the mighty city of Rome, it was these courageous geese that played an unexpected role in defending its walls. As depicted in this litho artwork, the geese are seen perched atop shields held by brave Roman soldiers. Their keen senses alerted them to the approaching danger as enemy forces attempted to climb ladders and breach Rome's defenses. With their loud honking and flapping wings, these feathered heroes disrupted the invaders' plans and saved the ancient city from falling into enemy hands. This powerful image not only serves as a reminder of historical events but also highlights important values such as bravery and resourcefulness. It is a testament to how even seemingly insignificant creatures can make a significant impact during times of crisis. Displayed on educational posters like those produced by MacMillan School Posters, this artwork served as both an engaging visual aid for students studying history and geography while instilling lessons about resilience and teamwork. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of art today, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit displayed by both humans and animals alike throughout history – forever et
