EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sallust: The Roman Historian". This engraving depicts Sallustius Crispus, better known as Sallust, a prominent Roman historian and politician born in 86 BC in the ancient Roman Republic. Sallust is renowned for his historical works, which provided a unique perspective on the political and military events of his time. Sallust's career began in the military, where he gained a reputation for his bravery and leadership. However, he was expelled from the Senate for his involvement in a conspiracy against Julius Caesar. Undeterred, Sallust turned to writing as a means to document the political and social issues of Rome. This vertical, upright, black and white portrait captures the intense and serious expression of Sallust, reflecting his deep engagement with the historical record. The engraving's intricate details bring out the textures of his clothing and the folds of his toga, adding authenticity to the image. Sallust's works, including "The War with Catiline" and "The War with Jugurtha," offer valuable insights into the political intrigues and military campaigns of the late Roman Republic. His writings have influenced European historiography and continue to be studied by scholars today. As a man of letters, Sallust represents the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Roman world. His legacy as a historian and writer has left an indelible mark on European literature and history, making him an essential figure in the study of Roman culture and the development of Western civilization. This engraving serves as a testament to Sallust's enduring impact on the literary and historical landscape, offering a glimpse into the life and work of one of Rome's most influential historians.
