EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 depicts a Roman consul in full military regalia, offering us a glimpse into the ancient world of Rome. The consul stands proudly, donning an impressive galea or helmet, symbolizing his authority and leadership. His lorica musculata breastplate further emphasizes his role as a formidable warrior. The consul's attire is completed by the paludamentum cloak draped over his shoulders, representing his high rank and command. He wears a tunic underneath and short trousers known as sagulum gregale. The intricate details even extend to his caligae hobnail sandals adorned with lion heads. Created by artist L. F. Labrousse under the guidance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur for "L'antique Rome" this handcolored copperplate engraving showcases both historical accuracy and artistic skill. It provides valuable insight into the clothing and equipment worn by Roman consuls during their military campaigns. As we admire this exquisite print, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where politics intertwined with warfare, social class determined one's status, and men like this consul held immense power over society. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of history but also highlights the importance of understanding our past to comprehend our present.
