Date
Dates are not always precisely known, but the Art Institute strives to present this information as consistently and legibly as possible. Dates may be represented as a range that spans decades, centuries, dynasties, or periods and may include qualifiers such as c. (circa) or BCE.
The deep-voiced giants of our cannons
Are today full of joyous strength:
Today the artillery, the god of war,
Celebrates its nameday.
And to this vociferous salute,
The whole country echoes in reply;
“Glory to the artillerymen,
Gratitude, love and greetings!”
