EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction line drawing of two Roman soldiers diligently standing guard at a typical gateway along Hadrian's Wall. The artist, Philip Corke, skillfully captures the essence of this ancient military outpost with meticulous attention to detail. Created between 1985 and 2000, this illustration transports us back in time to an era when the Roman Empire exerted its dominance over Britannia. The soldiers depicted in the artwork are adorned in authentic armor and costumes, reflecting their unwavering dedication to duty. Their shields held firmly before them, these stoic sentinels epitomize the disciplined nature of the Roman army. The intricate graphic design brings out every nuance of their attire and weaponry, allowing viewers to appreciate both their strength and vulnerability. Hadrian's Wall itself looms majestically behind them - an imposing testament to Rome's engineering prowess. This iconic structure served as a physical barrier against potential invaders while also facilitating trade and communication across the empire. Philip Corke's artistic rendition not only pays homage to history but also serves as a reminder of our shared heritage. It invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy left by those who once patrolled these ancient fortifications. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we cannot help but be transported back in time; imagining ourselves alongside these valiant soldiers on sentry duty along Hadrian’s Wall.
