EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a mounted lancer, ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur and power of ancient Rome. Created in 1796 by L. F. Labrousse under the direction of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, this handcoloured copperplate print showcases the attire and weaponry of a Roman hastatus or mounted lancer. The central figure is a formidable sight, mounted on a majestic horse and adorned with an impressive galea helmet, tunic, baldric belt, sagulum gregale (short trousers), shield, and spear. His presence exudes strength and readiness for battle. In the background stands a cohort of fellow lancers engaged in combat—a testament to their unwavering loyalty to Rome. This artwork not only provides insight into military uniforms but also offers glimpses into social classes within ancient Roman society. The intricate details captured by Labrousse transport us back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and sophistication that defined this era. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations like Rome. Their military prowess shaped history as we know it today—inspiring awe and fascination for generations to come.
