EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an ancient Roman Salii priest dressed in the costume of an archaic warrior. The engraving, created by L. F. Labrousse in 1796, showcases one of the twelve leaping priests known as Salii, who would participate in processions around the city. The priest is depicted wearing a beautifully embroidered tunic and a vibrant red cloak or paludamentum. Adorning his head is a spiked helmet or apex, symbolizing his connection to war and protection. In his hands, he holds a spear and bronze shield or ancilia, further emphasizing his role as a warrior. Labrousse's hand-colored copperplate engraving brings this historical figure to life with meticulous detail and artistic flair. The image is part of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's publication on Ancient Rome titled "L'antique Rome" which provides both historical and picturesque descriptions. This print not only offers us insight into the religious rituals and costumes of ancient Rome but also highlights the intersection between religion, society, and military culture during that time period. It serves as a visual reminder of how different social classes played distinct roles within Roman society. With its rich history and mythological symbolism intertwined with paganism, this engraving transports viewers back to ancient times while showcasing Labrousse's talent for capturing intricate details through artistry.
