EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a poignant moment during the Revolt of the Helvetii, an incident in Swiss history that took place in 69 AD. The Helvetii, a Celtic tribe living in what is now Switzerland, had been forced to migrate from their homeland by the Romans under the command of Gaius Julius Caesar. However, they were allowed to return under the condition that they would become Roman subjects. In this scene, we see Alpinula, the daughter of Julius Alpinus, one of the leaders of the Helvetii, pleading for the life of her father with Marcus Caecinna, a Roman commander. The Helvetii, driven by desperation and a desire for self-determination, had rebelled against Roman rule. The Romans, determined to quell the uprising, had marched against the Helvetii with a formidable army. The expression on Alpinula's face is one of deep anguish and fear as she begs for mercy on behalf of her father. Caecinna, portrayed as a stern and resolute figure, seems to be weighing the pleas of the young woman against the demands of his duty. The backdrop of the print is filled with the chaos and destruction of war, with soldiers clashing in the background and the smoke of battle rising in the distance. This print offers a glimpse into the complexities of ancient history, where the lines between right and wrong, loyalty and betrayal, were often blurred. It serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of familial love and loyalty.
