This image is a black and white engraving or etching depicting a chaotic battle scene from a historical or mythological context. A central figure on horseback, likely to be a leader or a warrior of high rank due to the crown on the person's head, is shown raising a weapon high, possibly a spear, in the heat of battle. The horse is rearing amidst fallen soldiers, some of whom are lying on the ground, potentially dead or injured. In the foreground, numerous soldiers engage in combat with each other; many are on foot wielding shields and weapons like swords and spears, while others are shown fallen. The detailed illustration captures the intensity and movement of battle with dynamic lines and dramatic poses. The background features a large field with lines of soldiers clashing, indicating the scale of the battle. There is a sense of perspective with smoke rising in the distance, and a fortified town on the horizon, suggesting a broader context for the conflict. Visible fortifications and structures are under siege, with smoke rising, implying destruction. The chaotic nature of the scene, with combat sprawling into the distance, suggests a significant historic battle. The Latin inscription at the bottom likely identifies the battle or the main figures in the scene. The text reads: "ACRON CHENINVSIVM REX BELLVM ROMVLO INFERENS ARMIS VITAE EXIVITVR." Translating this, it appears to reference Acron, king of the Caeninenses, bringing a war to Romulus, who, according to Roman mythology, was the founder and first king of Rome. The phrase indicates that Acron was killed by Romulus in battle, which is a story from the early legends of Rome's founding narrative.
