This canvas print dedicated to the Battle of Alesia depicts one of the most famous military engagements in Ancient Rome: Julius Caesar's victory over the Gallic coalition led by Vercingetorix in 52 BC, a decisive event in the Gallic Wars and the Roman conquest of Gaul.

Following the revolt of the Gallic tribes and the difficult campaign that culminated at Gergovia, Vercingetorix withdrew to the fortified oppidum of Alesia, convinced that its position was impossible to capture. Caesar responded with an extraordinary feat of Roman military engineering, constructing more than thirty kilometers of fortifications, trenches, towers and palisades designed to besiege the city while simultaneously resisting the arrival of a massive Gallic relief army.

The artwork captures the most dramatic moment of the battle: the simultaneous assault launched by Gallic forces from both inside and outside the fortifications, while the Roman legions fight to maintain their defensive lines.

The victory at Alesia led to the surrender of Vercingetorix and the end of organized Gallic resistance, establishing Julius Caesar as one of the greatest military commanders in history. To this day, the battle remains one of the most studied examples of Roman strategy and military engineering.

Perfect for enthusiasts of Ancient Rome, Julius Caesar, Roman military history and historical wall art, this canvas print transforms one of the most important events of classical antiquity into a striking decorative artwork with strong historical and cultural significance.

Our project is a playful‑cultural experience designed for anyone who wants to live history in a new way:

from teenagers, who can approach the great events of the past in an engaging and enjoyable manner, to enthusiasts who wish to enrich their homes with artistic canvases capable of elegantly telling the stories and protagonists of our nation’s past.

The characters we portray are not simply figures from history: they are the roots of our identity, the voices that shaped our culture, our way of thinking, and even the places we inhabit.

Beyond visual impact, we want to restore the pleasure of touch: not only through the natural texture of cotton, but also through the tactile depth and glossy highlights achieved during printing — details that add dimension and a uniquely sensory feel.

In an age dominated by digital screens, our canvases invite you to rediscover an authentic, physical, and sensorial experience.

It is a product that blends quality and culture — but above all, it is an invitation to rediscover the pride of belonging to an extraordinary history.

Because being Italian means carrying with us a heritage that deserves to be celebrated.

Our products are entirely made in Italy, within the Over S.r.l. facility — a company active in the cardboard sector since 1978.

In 2025, a production department dedicated to digital printing for visual communication was introduced, allowing us to combine industrial expertise and aesthetic research within a single production space.

Every stage of the process takes place in‑house: from design to printing, from production to packaging, all the way to shipping. Everything is managed in our warehouse, giving us direct control over quality, materials, and timing.

IBAM is a registered trademark of Over Srl: a choice that ensures 100% Italian production, a short supply chain, and high quality standards.

For us, ‘Made in Italy’ is not a label — it is a concrete process, followed step by step.

We place great importance on the quality of our canvas prints, made from 100% cotton — plastic‑free and naturally eco‑friendly.

We use GREENGUARD Gold‑certified inks, which ensure vibrant colors and exceptional long‑term stability, enhancing every historical and iconographic detail.

Likewise, for our cat beds we use corrugated cardboard, a fully eco‑sustainable material thanks to its recyclable nature.

A choice that combines environmental respect, functionality, and care for our four‑legged friends.

The textured finish allows for extremely realistic reproductions, adding depth and three‑dimensionality to the image.

Thanks to the use of up to nine layers of matte and glossy UV varnish, it creates a raised effect that simulates real brushstrokes and enhances the most distinctive details of the illustration.

High‑definition flat illustrations, on the other hand, use a single layer of matte UV varnish: they have no relief, but ensure vibrant, stable colors that remain resistant over time and to sunlight.

Express shipping is always free on all our canvases.
