EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of the Caudine Forks, a significant event in ancient history. Taking place in 321 BC during the Second Samnite War, this battle pitted the mighty Romans against the formidable Samnites. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but has masterfully depicted the chaos and turmoil that unfolded on that fateful day. The image showcases a battlefield filled with Roman soldiers clad in their distinctive armor, engaged in fierce combat with their Samnite adversaries. The engraving beautifully portrays the tension and desperation felt by both sides as they fought for victory. However, what sets this battle apart is not just its brutality but also its outcome. The Romans suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Samnites, resulting in great shame for their army. This momentous event left an indelible mark on Roman history and serves as a reminder of their fallibility despite being one of history's greatest empires. Giancarlo Costa skillfully brings this historical scene to life through his meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess. His work transports us back to ancient times, allowing us to witness firsthand the struggles faced by these valiant warriors. This print is not only a testament to military prowess but also an exploration of human nature and resilience amidst adversity.
