EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Horatius Cocles defending the Bridge" captures a legendary moment in ancient Roman history. The image depicts Horatius Cocles, an esteemed officer of the Roman Republic, valiantly defending the Pons Sublicius against the invading army of Lars Porsena, King of Clusium. In this scene from the late 6th century BC, tension fills the air as two armies confront each other on either side of the bridge. With unwavering determination and bravery etched upon his face, Horatius stands at the forefront with his shield raised high. His heroic stance symbolizes Rome's resilience and unwavering spirit in times of conflict.
