67 av. J.-C. La M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e est en crise. Les pirates ciliciens<\/strong> \u2014 \u00e9tablis dans les montagnes c\u00f4ti\u00e8res escarp\u00e9es du sud de l’Anatolie \u2014 sont pass\u00e9s du statut de nuisance r\u00e9gionale \u00e0 celui de menace existentielle pour le commerce et la puissance de Rome. Ils razzient les c\u00f4tes italiennes. Ils enl\u00e8vent des citoyens romains \u2014 dont, c\u00e9l\u00e8bre exemple, un jeune Jules C\u00e9sar. Ils attaquent les convois de bl\u00e9 et font monter le prix du pain \u00e0 Rome jusqu’\u00e0 des niveaux dangereux. Ils ont m\u00eame frapp\u00e9 Ostie, le port de Rome, et incendi\u00e9 une flotte consulaire au mouillage. Le S\u00e9nat, aux abois, confie \u00e0 Pomp\u00e9e<\/strong> un commandement sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.<\/p>\n La lex Gabinia<\/em> de 67 av. J.-C. donna \u00e0 Pomp\u00e9e l’imperium sur toute la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e et ses c\u00f4tes jusqu’\u00e0 quatre-vingts kilom\u00e8tres dans les terres \u2014 un pouvoir sans \u00e9quivalent dans l’histoire constitutionnelle romaine, que ses adversaires politiques identifi\u00e8rent avec justesse comme le type d’autorit\u00e9 extraordinaire capable de d\u00e9stabiliser la R\u00e9publique. Pomp\u00e9e n’en eut cure. Il divisa la mer en treize zones, affecta \u00e0 chacune un lieutenant avec son escadre, et lan\u00e7a des op\u00e9rations simultan\u00e9es sur l’ensemble du bassin.<\/p>\n La campagne dura trois mois<\/strong>. Dans l’une des d\u00e9monstrations d’organisation militaire les plus remarquables de l’histoire romaine, Pomp\u00e9e nettoya la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e occidentale, refoula les survivants vers l’est, acula la base principale \u00e0 Coracesium<\/strong> en Cilicie et accepta leur reddition. Puis il fit ce que personne n’attendait : au lieu de les crucifier, il installa les pirates et leurs familles comme agriculteurs dans des cit\u00e9s de l’int\u00e9rieur anatolien. Le probl\u00e8me ne revint pas.<\/p>\n Cette gravure militaire romaine originale<\/strong> de Giuseppe Rava \u2014 illustrateur historique pour Osprey Publishing<\/strong> depuis 2007 \u2014 saisit l’affrontement naval avec la pr\u00e9cision m\u00e9ticuleuse qui d\u00e9finit chaque \u0153uvre du Maestro. Navires de guerre romains, embarcations pirates, la violence du combat en mer rendue \u00e0 l’huile sur toile.<\/p>\n L’estampe est produite en \u00e9dition limit\u00e9e<\/strong>, num\u00e9rot\u00e9e individuellement et sign\u00e9e \u00e0 la main par Giuseppe Rava, format SRA3 (45 \u00d7 32 cm), sur papier fine art.
