EDITORS COMMENTS
The print depicts the historic Battle of the Caudine Forks, a significant event during the Second Samnite War in 321 BC. In this intense battle between the Romans and the Samnites, led by Consuls Tiberius Veturius Calvinus and Spurius Postumius Albinus prisus Caius, a moment of supreme shame is captured. The Roman Arm finds itself defeated and humiliated as their leader Pontius is placed naked under the yoke by the victorious Samnites. This image portrays a powerful scene that symbolizes not only military defeat but also utter humiliation for the Romans. Reduced to a state akin to beasts, they are forced to endure this ultimate disgrace at the hands of their enemies. The artist's portrayal captures both historical accuracy and emotional intensity. The details meticulously rendered on this 19th-century print bring forth an understanding of how such events shaped ancient warfare. It serves as a reminder of past conflicts and their consequences. This artwork from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon history's defining moments. It invites contemplation about power dynamics, honor, and resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even great empires can face crushing defeats – lessons that remain relevant throughout human history.
