Dictator Farm Farmer Lucius Plow Plowing Roman Rome Statesman Toga Cincinnatus Quintus
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century line engraving, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where the esteemed Roman statesman and general Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus receives a delegation from the Roman Senate at his humble farm. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when Cincinnatus is informed of his appointment as dictator in 458 B. C. Despite his prestigious position, Cincinnatus is portrayed here as a simple farmer, dressed in traditional Roman attire - the toga. This juxtaposition highlights his humility and devotion to duty. As he stands amidst his plowed fields with a plow by his side, it becomes evident that Cincinnatus values hard work and agricultural life even more than wielding power. The scene exudes an aura of reverence and respect as the members of the Senate approach him with deference. Their presence signifies their trust in Cincinnatus's leadership abilities during times of crisis or war. This historical print not only showcases an influential figure from ancient Rome but also serves as a reminder of timeless virtues such as integrity, selflessness, and dedication to one's country. It immortalizes Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus' legacy as both an accomplished military leader and a devoted farmer who willingly set aside personal pursuits for the greater good of Rome.
