Horatio Cocles
“Rome shall stand while the Tiber flows.”
Horatius Cocles, a Roman officer, is immortalized in lore for his one-man stand against the Etruscan army at the Pons Sublicius. With determination and unparalleled bravery, he held the bridge, giving his fellow Romans time to destroy it behind him and halt the invasion, ultimately diving into the Tiber River, swimming to safety as the bridge collapsed.
