Ancient Germanic Warriors: A Glimpse into the Past This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled 'Ancichi Guerrieri Germani' or 'Ancient Germanic Warriors,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image, created by Philipp Cluver for Giulio Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World' published in Florence in 1837, depicts a group of Germanic warriors. The warriors are shown in various stages of battle readiness. Some are mounted on horses, their topknots flowing in the wind, while others are on foot, their bodies adorned with only animal skins, with heads and antlers, as pants, socks, and capes. Their weapons of choice include lances, clubs, and wood and wicker shields. The image also shows the gruesome reality of ancient warfare, with severed heads of victims impaled on spears and a dog snarling at the warriors' feet. The warriors' fierce expressions and determined postures convey the intensity and brutality of their battles. This engraving provides a unique insight into the fashion and warfare practices of the ancient Germanic people. The use of natural materials for clothing and the reliance on traditional weapons reflect the connection between these warriors and their environment. The image also highlights the importance of horses in ancient Germanic warfare, with several warriors depicted riding them into battle. Overall, this engraving offers a glimpse into a time long past, providing a fascinating look at the ancient Germanic warriors and their way of life.
