EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giovanni Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the male costumes of the ancient Armenians of Babylon. The image showcases a group of soldiers, each armed with distinctive weapons and attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of this ancient civilization. Babylon, an iconic city renowned for its towering ziggurats, hanging gardens, and biblical significance, is depicted in the background, with its distinctive citadel and city walls providing an evocative backdrop to the scene. The Armenians, an ancient people with a complex and storied history, are believed to have inhabited Babylon during the Hellenistic and Parthian periods. The soldiers in the engraving are depicted wearing various elements of Armenian attire. Some wear long, flowing robes with intricate patterns and fringes, while others don shorter tunics with belts and arm bands. Many of the soldiers are armed with bows and arrows, spears, and whips, reflecting their role as skilled warriors. The intricate details of the costumes, from the patterns on the fabric to the ornate accessories, are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured engraving, offering a vivid and engaging portrayal of ancient Armenian fashion. This historical illustration not only provides a fascinating window into the past, but also highlights the rich cultural diversity that has shaped the world we live in today. The Armenians of Babylon, with their distinctive costumes and military prowess, offer a captivating glimpse into the complex and fascinating history of this ancient civilization.
