EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), showcases two Roman racing chariots: a quadriga and a biga. The quadriga, the more elaborate and grandiose of the two, is pulled by four powerful horses, their manes flowing in the wind. The charioteer, dressed in a short tunic and protective helmet, skillfully steers the team, his muscular arms taut with focus and determination. The biga, a simpler two-horse chariot, is also depicted, with its charioteer dressed in a similar attire. Both chariots represent the thrilling and competitive world of Roman racing, a popular form of entertainment and social status symbol during ancient times. The intricate details of the horses' anatomy, the chariots' design, and the dynamic poses of the charioteers are beautifully rendered in this exquisite engraving, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Roman Empire.
