Combat of Romans and Dacians (after a relief on the Arch of Constantine, Rome)

Artist

Nicolas Beatrizet

Physical Description

This engraving reproduces a relief sculpture from the second century CE of Roman soldiers under Emperor Trajan conquering the Dacians in what is today Romania. The sculpture was later removed from its original monument built to honor Trajan and incorporated into the Arch of Constantine, erected in Rome by the emperor Constantine between 312 and 315.

The relief depicts mounted Roman soldiers, dressed in their characteristic armor and helmets, surging to the left and right from the center of the scene. A group of soldiers sounding horns stands in their midst. The Romans' vanquished Dacian foes lie trampled beneath the horses' hooves.

Mark Kostabi

Physical Description

Line drawing in felt tip marker on ivory ~ 10x13” paper with shading.

The wall, pitcher, parts of the woman’s head and shoulder covering and bodice, and cash register have been modeled in stylized “half tone” of zigzag separating white and black; shadows take the form of dense curlicues. The tablecloth bears a “pattern” of crosses and eye-shaped forms. The map has been filled in with fingerprints.
