EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Roman history - the crossing of the Rubicon River by Julius Caesar, one of Rome's most influential figures. In defiance of the Roman Senate's law, which forbade generals from entering Cisalpine Gaul with their armies, Caesar boldly led his legions across the river on 10 January 49 BC. Following in the footsteps of Pompey the Great, another renowned military leader, Caesar violated this decree and forever altered the course of ancient Rome. The image showcases a chromolithography from the late 19th century and is attributed to an unknown artist. It depicts Caesar standing at the forefront with his legions behind him, armed and ready for battle. The intensity and determination on their faces are palpable as they prepare to challenge authority and shape their own destinies. In this defining moment captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we witness Caesar uttering his famous words "Alea jacta est" or "The die is cast". These words symbolize not only his unwavering resolve but also mark a turning point in Roman politics and set off a chain reaction that would ultimately lead to Caesar's rise as dictator. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how individuals throughout history have defied convention and risked everything for what they believed in. It immortalizes an act that challenged established norms while highlighting both bravery and ambition within political systems.
