Illustration of a Roman legion. Copyright: Dorling KindersleyA Roman legion (from Latin legio “military levy, conscription ,” from legere — “to choose”) normally indicates the basic ancient Roman army unit recruited specifically from Roman citizens. The organization of legions varied greatly over time but were typically composed of up to 5,000 soldiers, originally divided into maniples and later into “cohorts “. Maniples/Cohorts were divided into “centuries “. In reference to the early Kingdom of Rome (as opposed to the republic or empire) “the legion” means the entire Roman army . For most of the Roman Imperial period, the legions were a part of the Imperial army and formed its elite heavy infantry, recruited exclusively from Roman citizens (provincials who aspired to the citizenship gained it when honorably discharged from the auxiliaries ). Each legion always included a small cavalry attachment. The Roman army (for most of the Imperial period) consisted mostly of “auxiliary ” cohorts who provided additional infantry, and the vast majority of the Roman army's cavalry. Because of the enormous military successes of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire , the legion has long been regarded as the prime ancient model for military efficiency and ability.

The creation of my work is the result of a harmonious experience, intuitive and mental, that becomes crystallized on the canvas, sometimes taking organic forms, and other times the amorphousness of cosmic space. The colors acquire their intensity from my psychic state of the moment. Each art work has great plasticity; each begins in one marvelous adventure, like the flight of the condor free in space, where each movement of the line becomes transformed little by little, shaped by the rich spiritual experiences of time and cosmic space in my subconscious. Slowly each work evolves an abstract structure of distant transparencies where the colors acquire luminosity and mystery, almost as if bathed by the patina of time. The textures culminate in a visual quality and tactile flood of personal experiences, where finally the total work acquires its dimension of time and space. My art is a human adventure full of both personal and universal experiences in which we try to find ourselves again. This is a one of a kind original art work, hand painted in oil on canvas and hand signed by me Alfredo Da Silva. ARTIST RETAINS ALL COPYRIGHTS-ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
