Elephants on rafts! Shirtless men using weird oars to propel rafts over the Rhône. Men wearing regular shoes that i’m sure will get ruined! 🙂

Photolithography i think (no screen dots), easy to scan and clean up in #GIMP at least (some heal tool to remove dots possibly from dirt on the printing plate).

This black and white reproduction of a painting shows an elephant with a small castle built on it, battlements and all, and people inside that tower. The elephant stands on a raft which men are moving apparently with giant oars resembling shovels on pivots, and punting or fishing with spears. Two shirtless men are in a smaller boat that seems to have the ends of giant logs in it that go all the way under the raft to a boat on the other side.

In the background are more elephants on rafts.

Intact Roman helmet from the First Punic War recovered from the sea

Archaeologists have recovered an extremely well-preserved Roman bronze helmet from the seabed off Sicily’s Egadi Islands, where the decisive Battle of the Aegates took place in 241 BCE.

A devastating fire 2,200 years ago preserved a moment of life and war in Iron Age Spain — right down to a single gold earring
A violent blaze, possibly linked to the Carthaginian army crossing the Pyrenees to fight the Romans, flared up so quickly people couldn’t save their animals or their valuables

“No Roman or Carthaginian could have dreamed in 264 that their states were about to embark on a twenty-four-year struggle which would involve huge casualties, still less that it would be the first of three wars between the two peoples” (65).
