EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases Vandal and Gepide warriors in all their fierce glory. The print, part of a private collection, depicts two distinct figures representing these ancient tribes. The first warrior is a Vandal, adorned with a spiked helmet and draped in an imposing cloak known as a chlamys. He brandishes a wooden shield with confidence, ready to defend himself against any foe. The second warrior represents the Gepides, wearing a helmet along with protective breastplate and thigh armor. In his hands are a lance with a spiked head and an intimidating curved sword that speaks volumes about his battle prowess. Handcolored by skilled artisans of the time, this copperplate engraving captures every intricate detail of these formidable fighters. It was originally featured in Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages" published in Vienna in 1796. This remarkable artwork offers us insight into the military history of these ancient societies while also showcasing their distinctive attire and weaponry. It serves as both an educational resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. With its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this engraving transports viewers back to an era when warriors like these played significant roles on historical battlegrounds. Their costumes reflect not only their cultural traditions but also symbolize strength, valor, and resilience - qualities that continue to captivate our imagination today.
