EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Roman salpinx, a trumpet-like instrument that was widely used by both the Greeks and Romans. The late 19th-century line engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of this fascinating musical device. The image depicts a skilled musician, adorned in a traditional Roman helmet, passionately playing the salpinx. The soldier's intense focus reflects his deep connection to the music he creates with this brass horn. Surrounding him are other men, possibly fellow soldiers or spectators, who seem captivated by the enchanting melodies emanating from the instrument. The salpinx holds great significance in ancient Rome as it symbolizes not only their rich musical heritage but also their military prowess.
