EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Rome, where we witness the prowess of Roman soldiers as stone slingers. The image showcases three men, their determined expressions etched on their faces, each carrying a short hand sling - a weapon that played a crucial role in warfare during that era. The scene is set on the ground, where sling sticks lie scattered around. These simple yet ingenious tools were used to give missiles greater impetus and accuracy when launched from the slings. The attention to detail in this copperplate engraving from Antwerp in 1605 is remarkable, capturing every element of these ancient weapons and their wielders. Justus Lipsius Poliorceticon's work comes alive through this print, offering us a glimpse into the military tactics employed by Roman soldiers centuries ago. It serves as a testament to their ingenuity and adaptability on the battlefield. As we observe these brave men with their slings at the ready, we can't help but marvel at how such seemingly humble equipment could have played such an integral role in shaping history. This image reminds us of the power and resourcefulness possessed by those who came before us – qualities that continue to inspire admiration even today.
