"From Ancient Rome to Modern Times: A Captive's Journey" Step back in time and witness the harrowing fate of prisoners throughout history. In ancient Rome, captured enemies were harnessed, their freedom stripped away as they became mere pawns in a triumphal procession through the Roman Forum. The vividly colored engravings of 1866 bring this scene to life. Fast forward to Tudor England, where Anne Boleyn found herself imprisoned within the Tower of London in 1536. Painted on canvas in 1835, her portrait captures the anguish and isolation she endured during her captivity. The struggle for human rights is also depicted through art. An oil painting from 1789 portrays the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, a pivotal moment that aimed to secure fundamental freedoms for all individuals. Moving into more recent times, an evocative black-and-white photograph showcases African American soldiers liberating Rennes, Brittany on August 4th, 1944. Their heroic efforts shattered chains and brought hope to those held captive by oppression. Yet not all prisoners faced liberation; some were victims of a cruel trade. Slave traders traversed Kordofan's roads in Sudan seeking profit from human suffering - shackles around necks serving as constant reminders of their stolen freedom. Crucifixion was reserved for heinous crimes like parricide or murder but executed publicly rather than within prison walls. Similarly, after a revolt by Japanese nobility known as daimios, those deemed responsible faced interrogation and death sentences by the Taikoun War Council - a grim reminder that power can be used against even its own people. In another corner of our world lies Central Asia where Persian slaves suffered under Turkoman rule. Chained at both neck and feet according to Emile Bayard's drawing from Arminius Vambery's journey in 1863 disguised as a dervish, these individuals were subjected to unimaginable hardships.
