Cavalry Dacian Horseback Numidian Principal Saber Shield Spalart
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 distinctive warrior figures from ancient Europe: a Dacian cavalryman and a Numidian horseman. The Dacian warrior, a member of the Dacian tribe that inhabited the region of present-day Romania during ancient times, is depicted riding a horse and brandishing a sabre and shield. The Dacians were known for their fierce resistance against the Roman Empire, and their military prowess was renowned for its effectiveness on horseback. The sabre, a versatile and deadly weapon, was an essential component of their arsenal, allowing them to deliver swift and precise blows. The shield, typically round or oval in shape, provided protection against enemy attacks. The Numidian horseman, on the other hand, hails from the North African region, specifically the Numidian kingdom. Known for their skillful horsemanship, the Numidians were a formidable force on the battlefield. The Numidian warrior is also shown carrying a sabre and a shield, but his attire sets him apart from the Dacian warrior. The Numidian is dressed in a tunic adorned with intricate patterns, suggesting his noble status, and he wears a distinctive crested helmet. This image, with its rich details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the military traditions and cultural distinctions of ancient civilizations. It serves as a testament to the historical significance of these warrior tribes and their contributions to the annals of human history.
