General gives reports of warmen grace, Gerard de Lairesse, 1670 print Two reports received grace from a Roman general. They kiss his hand in which he holds a scepter. This print illustrates the first part of the basic principle of Roman politics included by Vergilius: "Parcere Subiectis, Sed Debellare Superbos" (Vergilius, Aeneis ). According to this principle, the subjects would be saved, but those who persisted were stubbornly destroyed. Pendant of a print over the second part of this rule. Amsterdam paper etching the defeated before the victor. Forgivingness (+ symbolical representatio
