EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Antonio Verico in 1844, offers a fascinating glimpse into the encampment of German and Roman armies during ancient times. The image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," is based on Andrea Palladios illustrations and Julius Caesar's Commentaries. The scene depicts a panoramic view of the battle formation, encampment, and entrenchment of the Germanic and Roman armies. Roman legions, distinguished by their eagles, cavalry, and barracks, are juxtaposed against the Germanic forces, represented by the Saxons and Westphalians. Mythological deities, such as Irmensula, the goddess of the forest, and the Germanic gods Crodo, Cronus, and Saturn, are believed to have watched over their respective armies. The Germanic warriors are shown wearing intricately designed armor, wielding spears and shields, while the Romans are depicted in their traditional armor and shields. The image also highlights the cultural differences between the two forces, with the Germans using a wheel as a symbol of their chariots and a fish as a symbol of their mythology, while the Romans relied on their disciplined formations and strategic military tactics. The engraving is a testament to the rich historical and mythological significance of the Germanic and Roman armies during ancient times. It provides a unique perspective on the fashion, history, and cultural practices of these ancient civilizations, making it an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone with an interest in ancient history and mythology.
