EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of Roman soldiers and their innovative stone slinging equipment. The image showcases three men, all carrying short hand slings, ready for battle. Their determined expressions reveal their dedication to warfare and their commitment to protecting Rome. Lying on the ground are sling sticks, which were used to give greater impetus to their projectiles. These simple yet effective tools allowed the soldiers to launch stones with precision and force, making them formidable opponents on the battlefield. The photograph not only highlights the military prowess of these ancient warriors but also sheds light on the concept of innovation in weaponry during that era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were constantly striving for technological advancements in order to gain an edge in warfare. Justus Lipsius, renowned for his work Poliorceticon published in Antwerp in 1605, captured this momentous scene through his lens. His keen eye for detail brings out every nuance of these brave men's faces and emphasizes their strength and determination. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images collection by Justus Lipsius himself (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back in time; witnessing firsthand the valor and ingenuity of Roman soldiers who fought tirelessly for their country's honor.
