EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases intricately detailed replicas of armor and weapons from two ancient Etruscan vases. The first vase, discovered in Corneto, Rome, is depicted on the left side of the image. It yields a shield, helmet, and lance. The shield is adorned with geometric patterns and intricate designs, suggesting the advanced craftsmanship of the Etruscan civilization. The helmet, with its distinctive high crest and large eye openings, offers a glimpse into the protective headgear worn by Etruscan warriors. The lance, with its spearhead and long shaft, was a formidable weapon used in close combat. The second vase, unearthed in Bagnaja, Corsica, is displayed on the right side of the print. This vase reveals an armor suit, helmet, and sword. The armor, made of interlocking scales, would have provided excellent protection for the wearer. The helmet, featuring a prominent nose guard and large ear flaps, is a testament to the Etruscan's commitment to defensive innovation. The sword, with its curved blade and hilt, was a versatile weapon used for both slashing and thrusting. This exquisite print, created through the meticulous process of copperplate engraving, is a faithful representation of the intricate designs and details found on the original Etruscan vases. The illustration is attributed to Lorenzo Rocceggiani, with the engraving done by Pietro Ruga, as part of their comprehensive work, "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans," published in Rome in 1802. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Etruscan civilization.
