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), depicts a Roman military standard-bearer proudly carrying the aquilifer's standard, or signum, of the legion. The aquilifer, a crucial figure in the Roman army, was responsible for carrying the legionary eagle standard, a symbol of the legion's power and loyalty to the Roman Republic. The engraving shows the aquilifer dressed in a military tunic, wearing a helmet adorned with the image of a lion's head, and carrying a gladius, or Roman short sword, at his side. Flanking him are a trumpeter and a horn player, both also dressed in military attire, ready to signal the troops with their instruments. The aquilifer's standard, the aqulia, is a large, golden eagle with outstretched wings, perched atop a pole. The eagle's head is turned towards the enemy, symbolizing the legion's readiness for battle. The standard's intricate design includes intricate details such as the eagle's wings spread wide, its talons clutching a palm branch and a thunderbolt, and its body adorned with decorative motifs. The engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the visual culture of the Roman military, showcasing the importance of symbols, music, and discipline in maintaining the might and power of the Roman legions. The intricate details of the engraving, handcolored to bring out the richness of the imagery, make it a valuable historical artifact and a testament to the artistic skill of the time.
