EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the costume of a Roman standard bearer from the late 16th century. The engraving, created by Christoph Krieger and later reproduced by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot, is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes, Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il mondo". The standard bearer depicted in this image wears a striking lions mane headdress along with a short tunic, short trousers (sagulum gregale), and boots. He represents three important roles within the Roman army: signifer or signum-bearer (carrying the military unit's emblem), aquilifer or eagle-bearer (holding the legion's sacred eagle symbol), and imaginifer or imago-bearer (displaying images of emperors). The intricate details of his attire are beautifully captured within a decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. This historical piece not only provides insight into ancient Roman military uniforms but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of artists during that era. With its rich history and cultural significance, this print transports viewers back in time to experience the grandeur and power associated with ancient Rome. It is truly an exquisite addition to any art collection or historical enthusiast's display.
