The Death of Sophonisba — Antique Historical Print

The Story in the Margin

Sophonisba was a Carthaginian noblewoman who, according to Roman history, chose to drink poison rather than be paraded as a captive of Rome. Her defiant, tragic end became a byword for honour over humiliation and a favourite subject of European painters and printmakers for centuries.
