This anonymous etching, titled "Nieuwe aanval op een Romeinse vesting, 69-70", depicts a scene of a Roman siege from the late 17th century. The scene is presented as an engraving, with a detailed depiction of the Roman fortifications and the attacking forces. The text below the image in French describes the siege of a Roman camp, giving historical context to the image. This etching, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the 17th-century European fascination with Roman history and military tactics.
