EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Introducing an intriguing glimpse into the ancient world of combat sports, this print showcases various methods used by Lottatori fighters to bind their hands for brutal hand-to-hand combat during Roman times. The image, a beautiful copperplate engraving, is a meticulous reproduction of original illustrations by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his seminal work, "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans." 2. The print, which hails from the esteemed Maffei Museum and features additional examples from an ancient urn discovered in St. Stefano church in Piscinola, offers a fascinating insight into the equipment used by these ancient fighters. The first three examples (1, 2, 3) depict Lottatori fighters wearing leather gloves with intricately designed metal studs, providing both protection and added grip. 3. The last two examples (4, 5) illustrate the use of caestus or cestus – ancient boxing gloves – which were made from leather strips or fabric, wrapped around the hand and secured with metal studs or spikes. These weapons were not only used for protection but also to inflict maximum damage on opponents during combat. 4. The intricate details of these ancient hand bindings are masterfully captured in this exquisite copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga. The print offers a unique perspective into the brutal yet captivating world of ancient combat sports, providing a glimpse into the lives of the warriors who once wore these very bindings. 5. This stunning print is not only a testament to the rich history of combat sports but also a beautiful work of art that can be appreciated by history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone with an interest in ancient civilizations. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship make this print a valuable addition to any collection.
