EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the statue of Ambiorix, a revered national hero of Tongeren, Belgium. Ambiorix was the renowned leader of the Eburones, a Belgic tribe residing in the north-eastern region of Gaul, now modern-day Belgium. The Eburones were known for their fierce resistance against the Roman Empire, with Ambiorix leading a notable uprising against the troops of Julius Caesar in 54 BC. The statue, which dates back to the 1930s, stands proudly in the heart of Tongeren, a testament to the enduring legacy of this ancient hero. The intricately detailed sculpture captures the powerful and determined spirit of Ambiorix, as he is depicted with a spear in hand and a regal expression on his face. The statue is situated on a grand plinth, adorned with ornate railings, adding to its grandeur and historical significance. The statue of Ambiorix has become a symbol of pride and heritage for the people of Tongeren and Belgium as a whole. The image of this brave and defiant leader continues to inspire and captivate visitors, reminding us of the rich history and cultural traditions that have shaped this region for centuries.
