EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a standard bearer, ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur and splendor of the Roman Empire. Created in 1796 by Labrousse, L. F. , this handcolored copperplate print showcases the intricate details of an aquilifer's attire. The aquilifer, or standard bearer, stands proudly adorned in a leopard skin tied around his torso and animal-skin boots embellished with lion heads. His most striking feature is the aquila standard he carries - a symbol of great significance for the Roman military. The golden eagle atop it represents power and authority, while a portrait, tablet with SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus), and scarlet ribbon further enhance its regal appearance. In the background lies a scene reminiscent of ancient Rome - ruined arches and columns behind Porte Enseigne Romain evoke memories of once majestic structures now lost to time. This engraving is part of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work "L'antique Rome" from 1796. It offers both historical accuracy and picturesque beauty as it transports us into the world of ancient Rome. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only military uniforms but also social classes and cultural norms prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to France's fascination with antiquity during the eighteenth century. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from their private collection for all history enthusiasts to appreciate its artistic value and historical significance.
