Prisoners Led from a Defeated City; Des cas des nobles hommes et femmes, about 1413-1415. Additional Info: In one of a number of cities destroyed by the Romans in their conquest of Greece and Africa, Roman soldiers take prisoners from a city in flames. The text that follows the image outlines a series of Roman victories, including those at Corinth, Argos, and Carthage. At Carthage, for example, which the general Scipio destroyed in 146 B.C., the Romans took 26,000 women and 30,000 men as prisoners, according to Boccaccio. They also gathered large numbers of captives from the many other cities they subjugated.
