An infographic of the seven times the city of Rome was sacked. Across more than 1,900 years (390 BCE–1527 CE), the sacks of Rome reveal not a single moment of collapse, but a recurring pattern of vulnerability shaped by shifting political systems, military power, and imperial overstretch. From the Republican era through the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and into the early modern period, Rome’s fortunes rose and fell with the structures meant to protect it.

Prison Arc really beatin' the shit out of these two (will prison finally be the thing that gets these two one step further in their slow burn romance? only time shall tell)

Rossi's enormous fresco is a wide tapestry of baroque imagination and motifs. The legendary roman general Marcus Furius Camillus is seen breaking the peace treaty with the previously victorious barbarian Senones, led by Brennus, whilst an array of deities and putti fly around the centering Jupiter (Jove, the chief God of the roman pantheon) to give blessings and good tidings upon the romans.

A monster version of @Almonihah's sorcerer raven, Brennus. I had a blast sketching this one out! I definitely need to do more creepy monster designs. XD ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow me on Patreon for more art, WIPs and videos.

This is my design that pays homage to the Iron Age Celts! Specifically, the Celtic Chieftain, Brennus, and his horde of Celtic warriors who sacked Rome in 390 B.C. Its the only time Rome was sacked before the fall of the Roman Empire many centuries later. - After taking Rome, the Celts demanded an exorbitant amount of gold be paid as ransom for the city. As the Romans begrudgingly weighed out the gold to ransom, some Romans began to complain to Brennus that the weights being used were faulty in the Celts favor. - Hearing these whining, Roman gripes, Brennus jumped to his feet, threw his sword on the scale and bellowed in a guttural voice, “Vae Victis!” Or, “Woe to the Vanquished!” In other words, “What are you gonna do about it?!” The sacking of Rome and subsequent humiliation in 390 B.C. by Brennus left a psychological scar that the Romans never forgot, and it is theorized that this collective mental scarring would influence Julius Ceasar and Rome’s obsessive desire to conquer Gaul centuries later when Rome grew to super power status. - My artwork here depicts an Iron Age Celtic shield and various Iron Age Celtic implements of war that have been discovered by archaeologists and have unique and distinctive appearances. VAE VICTIS! 💪🏻 ➖ #celtichammerclub #celt #celtic #ironage #carnyx #hallstatt #latene #rome #roman #romanhistory #brennus #ancient #antiquity #vaevictis #woetothevanquished #originalart #spear #shield #sword #warrior #barbarian #heathen #oldways https://www.instagram.com/p/CbSW0A3LwM0/?utm_medium=tumblr
