1. Title: "A Grand Procession through Ancient Rome: The Triumphs of Gaius Marius and Domitian" This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, created by the renowned artist Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages in 1798, presents a captivating scene of two triumphal arches in ancient Rome. The arches, dedicated to the Roman military commanders Gaius Marius and Domitian, stand proudly against the backdrop of a bustling Roman cityscape. Gaius Marius, depicted on the left, is shown in his triumphal chariot, wearing the traditional laurel wreath and purple toga signifying his military victory. His triumph, celebrated in 104 BC, marked the first time a military commander was elected consul for the seventh time. Marius' triumphal procession was a grand spectacle, featuring captured enemies, spoils of war, and elephants. On the right, Domitian's triumphal arch is adorned with intricate carvings and statues. Domitian, the Roman Emperor from 81 to 96 AD, is shown in his chariot, wearing the imperial purple toga and diadem. His triumph, celebrated in 82 AD, marked his victory over the Dacians, a powerful people from present-day Romania. Domitian's triumphal procession was equally impressive, featuring captured enemies, spoils of war, and exotic animals. The engraving also depicts various other figures, including Quintus Lutatius Catulus, a consul and military commander who played a key role in Marius' triumph. The scene is further enlivened by the inclusion of Roman soldiers, musicians, and onlookers. This stunning engraving offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of ancient Roman triumphs, showcasing the military might and cultural richness of the Roman Empire. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Roman history and the artistic mastery of Robert von Spalart.
