EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages" captures the essence of Roman military power and grandeur. In the center stands a Roman military aquilifer or signifer, proudly holding aloft the aqulia or signum - the standard of his legion. Flanked by a trumpeter and horn player, all three figures are adorned with lion heads, symbolizing strength and courage.
The aquilifer's gladius (sword) is at his side, ready for battle, while the musicians add an air of solemnity to the scene with their instruments. The attention to detail in their costumes and weaponry showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating these historical pieces.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome, where legions marched across vast expanses of land, conquering all who stood in their way. The eagle perched atop the standard serves as a reminder of Rome's dominance over its enemies.
This engraving is not just a work of art; it is a window into a world long past, where honor and duty were paramount. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who served in Rome's legions and inspires awe at their skill and bravery on the battlefield.
