The Catapult, c1868 - A Glimpse into Ancient Warfare
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts a Roman siege engine, known as the catapult, launching an assault on the ancient city of Carthage during the infamous siege of 146 BC. The sheer power and destructive force of this formidable war machine are evident as it looms over the city walls. Carved into the wooden structure is the Latin phrase "Delenda est Carthago" meaning "Carthage must be destroyed". This inscription serves as a chilling reminder of Rome's relentless determination to conquer its rival civilization. Hand-colored later, this print brings vibrancy and life to an otherwise black-and-white historical record. The vivid colors highlight every detail - from the intense concentration on the faces of soldiers operating the catapult to their meticulously crafted weaponry. The artist behind this masterpiece is Edward John Poynter, whose skillful execution captures both realism and emotion. His attention to detail transports us back centuries ago, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this dramatic scene. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at how warfare has evolved throughout history. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction and our constant pursuit for dominance.
