The Recovery of the Standards of Crassus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to ancient Rome, capturing a pivotal moment in history. This 20th-century print, now part of a private collection, showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the English School. The image depicts the legendary event when Augustus Caesar successfully recovers the lost standards of Marcus Licinius Crassus. These standards were symbols of military power and honor for the Roman legions. The engraving beautifully portrays this triumphant scene with soldiers marching proudly alongside Augustus as he holds up one of the recovered standards. This historical masterpiece was originally created as an illustration for "Illustrations of School Classics" arranged and described by G. F. Hill in 1903. Thanks to digital cleaning techniques, we can now appreciate its intricate details even more vividly. The presence of Petronius Turpilianus, depicted on a silver denarius coin from 12 BC, adds further authenticity to this artwork. As moneyer during that time period, Turpilianus played an important role in minting coins bearing images related to significant events or figures. "The Recovery of the Standards of Crassus" transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in classical Roman history and marvel at their achievements. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich past but also how art can bring these stories alive for generations to come.
