EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Enseigne des chevaux, 1581" offers a fascinating glimpse into the military world of ancient Rome. Created by an unknown artist during the 16th century, this woodcut illustration is part of a larger collection called "Discours de la Religion des Anciens Romains. . . Discours sur la Castramentation et Discipline Militaire des Anciens Romains". In this particular image, we see a mounted standard bearer proudly displaying his banner while gesturing with authority. The horseman's hand gesture suggests his commanding presence and leadership on the battlefield. Behind him stand other soldiers on horseback, forming a formidable cavalry unit. The detailed depiction transports us to ancient Rome, where military discipline and organization were highly valued. The flag fluttering in the wind symbolizes unity and pride for their country. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical artifact serves as a testament to our rich heritage and provides valuable insights into ancient warfare strategies employed by the Romans. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries ago, let us appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that has allowed it to survive through time. It reminds us of our connection to those who came before us and invites contemplation about how warfare has evolved over centuries.
