EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Death of Archimedes, killed by a Roman soldier during the assault on Syracuse, engraving of 1830. This powerful print captures the tragic demise of Archimedes (287-212 BCE), an esteemed Greek mathematician. The scene takes us back to the 3rd century BC, amidst the tumultuous history of ancient Greece. Archimedes, known for his groundbreaking contributions to mathematics and scientific theories, finds himself at odds with invading Roman forces during their assault on Syracuse. In this moment frozen in time, we witness the fateful encounter between Archimedes and a Roman soldier. The engraving skillfully portrays the intensity of this historical event as it unfolds horizontally before our eyes. Santiago Ortega's masterful work brings forth both emotion and detail in every stroke, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal moment from antiquity. As we contemplate this image, let us remember not only Archimedes' remarkable mathematical achievements but also his untimely end at the hands of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great minds are not immune to violence and conflict throughout history. This print serves as a testament to both Archimedes' legacy and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. "
