EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman legionary or aquilifer, proudly bearing the symbol of his unit - an eagle or aquila. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, beautifully portrays the essence of ancient Rome's military might and grandeur. The central figure stands tall and resolute, adorned in intricate armor and draped in a flowing cloak. His role as an aquilifer is evident from the majestic eagle standard he holds aloft with unwavering strength. This revered bird represents not only his legion but also serves as a powerful emblem of Roman power and authority. Surrounding him are examples of eagles or aquila, depicted with meticulous detail. These ornate symbols were carried into battle to inspire courage among troops and strike fear into their enemies' hearts. Each one is unique yet shares a common purpose – to unite soldiers under its protective wings. Corsi's handcoloured copperplate engraving brings this historical scene to life, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The illustration is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned work on costumes ancient and modern, which sought to document the diverse attire worn by people throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the valorous spirit that defined Rome's legions. It serves as a testament to their indomitable will and enduring legacy within military history.
