Looking down upon the stream, he stood awhile deep in thought, c1912 (1912). Julius Caesar sailed to Epirus with seven legions of his army, leaving the rest under the command of Mark Antony to follow as soon as enough ships were available. Caesar waited for months for Antonys remaining men to arrive, before returning to Rome in disguise to retrieve the troops himself. From The Story of Rome, by Mary MacGregor.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1912, where we witness a powerful moment of reflection. Standing on a clifftop overlooking a serene stream, a figure dressed in ancient Roman attire gazes down with deep contemplation. This individual is none other than Julius Caesar himself. The image captures an important turning point in history as Caesar embarked on his journey to Epirus with seven legions of his army. Entrusting Mark Antony with the task of bringing the remaining troops, Caesar patiently awaited their arrival for months. However, growing restless and eager to ensure the success of his mission, he took matters into his own hands. Disguised and determined, Caesar returned to Rome alone to retrieve the troops personally. The photograph freezes this pivotal moment when he stands at the edge of nature's beauty while grappling with thoughts that will shape not only his destiny but also that of Rome itself. This evocative image serves as a reminder of leadership's weighty responsibilities and decisions made against breathtaking landscapes like these cliffs. It offers us a glimpse into the mind of one of history's most influential figures - a statesman whose actions would forever alter the course of politics and war. Preserved by The Story of Rome written by Mary MacGregor in 1912, this print allows us to connect with our past and appreciate both its geographical features and historical significance without commercial intentions or associations.
