EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment from the Third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage in 146 BC. The image depicts the heartbreaking suicide of the wife of Hasdrubal the Boetharch, a Carthaginian general, during the siege of Carthage by Roman soldiers. The illustration, created by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) and taken from "d Italia" (History-D Italy) by Paolo Giudici in 1930, showcases Scarpelli's talent for capturing raw emotion and dramatic scenes. The private collection photograph is now part of The Holbarn Archive. In this poignant scene, we witness the despair and anguish that engulfed Carthage as it faced its ultimate downfall. As her city crumbled around her, this brave woman chose to take control over her own fate rather than endure capture or enslavement at the hands of their enemies. The composition skillfully portrays her sorrowful expression and delicate posture against a backdrop of chaos and destruction. It serves as a haunting reminder not only of individual sacrifice but also of the devastating consequences war can have on innocent lives caught in its path. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness one small yet significant moment within an epic historical event that forever shaped ancient civilizations.
