EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 takes us back to ancient Rome, showcasing a Roman legionary and skirmisher in all their glory. The attention to detail is remarkable, as the artist Labrousse brings these historical figures to life. The legionary stands tall, adorned in a galea helmet and tunic, with caligae hobnail sandals completing his attire. He wields a pilum or javelin with confidence and carries an oval shield for protection. His strong presence exudes the power and discipline of the Roman army. Beside him stands the skirmisher, dressed in a tunic and sagulum gregale or short trousers. Unconventionally barefooted, he holds his shield firmly as if ready for battle. Together, they represent different roles within the military hierarchy of ancient Rome. Labrousse's hand-colored copperplate engraving captures not only the soldiers' physical appearance but also provides insight into their social class and status within society during that time period. This print offers us a glimpse into the military might of ancient Rome while highlighting the intricate details of their uniforms and weaponry. It serves as both an educational tool for history enthusiasts and an artistic masterpiece that showcases Labrousse's talent as an engraver. Overall, this exquisite piece transports us back to one of history's most influential civilizations – reminding us of the strength, organization, and rich cultural heritage that defined ancient Rome.
