EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the presentation of the constitution by Augustus, the emperor of Rome, to the deputies of Gaul. The scene takes place in Lyon, France, which served as the administrative center of Roman Gaul during this time. In this engraving from 1882-1884, we see Augustus standing tall and regal, surrounded by men representing the three provinces of Gaul. With an eagle perched on his shoulder symbolizing power and authority, he proclaims his decree while everyone listens attentively. The grandeur of ancient Rome is evident in the impressive buildings that form a backdrop to this historic event. Flags proudly wave in the wind as people gather to witness their emperor's proclamation. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and respect for Augustus' leadership. Emile Thomas skillfully captured this momentous occasion through his detailed engraving technique. Every line conveys a sense of importance and reverence for both Emperor Augustus and Lyon itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of how government systems were established centuries ago. It also highlights Lyon's historical significance as an influential city within Roman Gaul. This print allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in an era where emperors held immense power and made decisions that shaped nations. It invites us to appreciate our rich cultural heritage while reflecting on how far we have come since those ancient times.
