Roma #2

The second volume of Glénat's Roma arrives with a striking cover that frames the ancient world in sweeping grandeur — a determined Roman commander stands front and center, spear in hand, while ranks of legionaries line the horizon and a classical temple rises in the misty distance. The subtitle "Vaincre ou mourir" — Conquer or Die — sets an appropriately stark and dramatic tone for whatever trials await in these pages. Luca Erbetta's artwork renders the scene with a painterly atmosphere that makes the weight of Roman ambition feel both vast and personal.
