EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in Roman history - the divorce of Julius Caesar from his wife Pompeia Sulla in 63 BC. The scene depicts Caesar, a towering figure in Roman politics and military conquests, making the difficult decision to repudiate his wife after she welcomed Clodius Pulcher into their home.
The artist, Francesco Bertolini, skillfully conveys the tension and drama of this historical event through intricate details and expressive figures. Caesar's stern expression and Pompeia's sorrowful gaze speak volumes about the emotions running high during this tumultuous time.
As one of the most famous love stories turned sour in ancient Rome, this image serves as a reminder of the complexities of human relationships and political alliances. It also sheds light on the power dynamics at play within Roman society, where personal matters often intertwined with public affairs.
Through this engraving from "Storia di Roma," viewers are transported back to a time when honor, betrayal, and ambition shaped the course of history. It is a poignant reminder that even great leaders like Julius Caesar were not immune to personal struggles and heartbreak.
