Quintus Sertorius: The Unconquered Roman General (123-73 BC) This enchanting engraving captures the likeness of Quintus Sertorius, a pivotal figure in the late Roman Republic. Born in 123 BC in the Italian Peninsula, Sertorius rose to prominence during a tumultuous period of Roman history marked by political instability and military conflict. As a military commander, Sertorius gained a reputation for his exceptional leadership and strategic prowess. He led the resistance against the Roman Sullan forces, which sought to impose a harsh new order on the Italian Peninsula following the civil war between Sulla and Marius. Sertorius' army, composed primarily of Italian allies, held out against the might of the Roman legions for several years. Despite his military successes, Sertorius was a man of the people, and his political beliefs were at odds with the Roman establishment. He advocated for greater rights and autonomy for Italy and its inhabitants, challenging the centralized power of Rome. This stance earned him both admiration and enmity, as some saw him as a champion of the common man, while others viewed him as a dangerous rebel. The image of Sertorius presented in this engraving is that of a resolute and determined leader. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of unyielding resolve, while the military accoutrements at his side underscore his status as a formidable commander. This portrait stands as a testament to the complexities of the Roman Republic, where military might and political ideology intersected in the pursuit of power and influence. The engraving, produced in Europe during the 19th century, is a reminder of the enduring fascination with the history and historical figures of the ancient world. It invites us to explore the rich tapestry of Roman history, a time of militarism, political intrigue, and personal ambition that continues to captivate the imagination.
