EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a triumphant procession of Roman soldiers marching beneath the Arch of Titus, an architectural masterpiece erected to celebrate Emperor Titus' victory over Jerusalem in AD 70. The soldiers, adorned with laurel wreaths and carrying an array of spoils of war, proudly display their conquered treasures. Among these spoils, a Menorah, trumpets, and other Jewish artifacts are evident, symbolizing the Roman conquest of the Second Temple. The soldiers are dressed in traditional Roman armor, including galeas (helmets), baltei (belts), gladii (swords), loricae (armor), and scutae (shields). Some soldiers are equipped with spears, while others carry javelins and darts. The procession also includes soldiers manning ballistae and catapults, showcasing the advanced Roman military technology used during the siege of Jerusalem. The interior panel of the Arch of Titus is depicted in this image, with the triumphal procession making its way through the archway. The arch itself is adorned with intricate columns and decorative elements, adding to the grandeur of the scene. This historical illustration, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a fascinating glimpse into the military might and cultural achievements of ancient Rome.
