Description:

A Flemish tapestry from the late 16th century, with the renowned Roman general, Scipio at left, after having conquered Carthage in the Battle of Zama, ending the Second Punic War. Measures: 8’6” H x 7’9” W. Scipio stands victorious at left, dictating the terms of peace to Hannibal, standing at right with his retinue, after his forces were defeated in battle, with many of them defecting to the side of the Romans. In the middle distance at left, a Roman soldier, or possibly a Carthaginian defector, is shown slaying a lion, an African symbol of power. In the further distance at left are rolling hills, and at center, a town. With this decisive victory, Scipio earned the name Scipio Africanus the Elder. Wool with silk inlay.

Hanging: The tapestry comes ready for hanging, with linen backing and a strip of hook and loop tape at the top end, which can be connected to the opposite side of the supplied hook and loop tape, which could be tacked to your wall. For those who prefer the use of a tapestry rod, we can add the appropriate size loops to accommodate your needs. We now have a large selection of antique tapestry rods available as well, which we can provide detail upon request.
