EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print depicts an epic sea battle between Roman and Carthaginian warships, showcasing the naval prowess of these ancient civilizations. The Roman fleet, with its distinctive curved prows and battering rams, is seen engaging the Carthaginian navy, characterized by their straight prows and unique use of a centaur as a figurehead. The intricate detail of the illustration, drawn and engraved by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, brings to life the intensity and chaos of the battle. The nautical scene is a testament to the advanced naval technology and military strategies employed by both sides during the Punic Wars. The handcoloured copperplate technique adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a captivating and historically significant representation of ancient maritime warfare.
