Product description

This canvas depicts the map of the Roman world at the time of Gaius Julius Caesar, during the conquest of Gaul (58–50 BC) and the subsequent Civil war (49–44 BC), also including his unrealized strategic objectives: the campaign against Burebista’s Dacia and the revenge expedition against Parthia, responsible for Crassus’ death in 53 BC.

At the beginning of his proconsulship, Caesar received Illyricum and stationed three legions at Aquileia, perhaps with the intention of intervening against the growing power of the Dacians. The threat, however, diminished, and Caesar turned his attention to Gaul, launching the long campaign that earned him prestige, wealth, and a devoted army.

After Crassus’ death at Carrhae (53 BC), the triumvirate dissolved and relations with Pompey deteriorated. In 50 BC, the Senate—urged on by Cato—ordered Caesar to disband his legions and return to Rome as a private citizen. His refusal led to the flight of the Caesarian tribunes of the plebs and to Caesar’s decision to cross the Rubicon in January 49 BC, uttering the historic phrase ‘Alea iacta est’ and beginning the civil war.

After his victory in Spain (49 BC), Caesar assumed power as dictator and confronted Pompey in the Balkans, defeating him at Pharsalus (48 BC). He then pursued his rival to Egypt, where Pompey was killed. There, Caesar supported Cleopatra in the dynastic conflict and became involved in the siege of Alexandria.

Having restored order in the East with his swift victory over Pharnaces II in 47 BC (‘veni, vidi, vici’), Caesar returned to Rome and departed for Africa, where he defeated the Pompeians at Thapsus (46 BC). The final resistance was crushed in Spain with the hard‑fought battle of Munda (45 BC).

Having become the absolute master of Rome, Caesar planned new campaigns against the Parthians, Dacians, and Germans, but his death in 44 BC ended all such projects. Many of these conquests would be achieved only in the Augustan or Trajanic periods, while Caesar retained the decisive merit of having subdued the Celtic world and consolidated Rome’s expansion in the West.

Our Mission

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.

Where are our products made?

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.

What materials do we use for our products?

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.

Difference between Textured Finish and Flat Finish

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.
