El milagro de la lluvia, 174 d.C. Guerra marcomana, interpretada por Giuseppe Ravi.
"Creyendo en su victoria, innumerables hordas de cuados rodearon a los hombres de Marco. Privados de agua potable, los romanos estaban agotados por la sed y, aunque se habían defendido de muchos ataques anteriores uniendo sus escudos, ahora llegaron al mismo Se acaban sus fuerzas. Justo cuando los cuados empezaban a moverse para el ataque final, una nube de lluvia se extiende sobre el campo de batalla, los romanos empiezan a mojarse y empiezan a beber del agua de la lluvia. Algunos beben de sus cascos, otros de sus vueltas. "Escudos. Atacan con confianza."
The Miracle of the Rain, ad 174
Barbarian view: Confident of victory, the overwhelming numbers of the Quadi have surrounded Marcus’ men. Deprived of drinking water, the Romans have been exhausted by thirst and, although they have held out against several earlier attacks by locking their shields together, they are now at the end of their endurance. Just as the Quadi are advancing for a final assault, a raincloud has opened above the battlefield, soaking the Romans, and they drink the rainwater. Some drink from their helmets, others from their upturned shields. Some soldiers have begun to discard equipment and arms in their desperation and exhaustion. None of this deters the Quadi, who advance confidently to the attack.
