EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Introducing an enchanting assemblage of ancient Roman musical instruments, as depicted in this copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, based on an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his comprehensive work "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans." 2. The image showcases a collection of instruments used by the Bacchantes, the ecstatic followers of the Roman god of wine, fertility, and revelry, Bacchus. Among these, a bronze ring with bells, a sistrum (triangle), and timpani (cymbals) are prominently displayed. 3. The bronze ring with bells, also known as a tintinnabulum, was a common instrument used in ancient Rome for various purposes, including signaling and religious rituals. The sistrum, a rattle with a looped handle and metal beads suspended from arms, was a popular instrument used in religious processions and dances. Timpani, or cymbals, were used to create sharp, resonant sounds, often in military contexts or during celebrations. 4. Other instruments featured in the engraving include a bell (tintinnabulum), a stick, pipes, a flute or tibia, a military horn, and a lyre. The pipes, likely made of clay or metal, were used to create melodic tunes, while the flute or tibia, a double-reed instrument, produced a rich, full-bodied sound. The military horn, an essential component of the Roman legions, was used for communication and signaling on the battlefield. Lastly, the lyre, a stringed instrument, was a versatile and widely used musical instrument in ancient civilizations, including Greece and Rome. 5. This exquisite representation of Roman musical instruments offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations and the role music played in their daily lives and rituals.
