EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back to the ancient Roman world, specifically the late Roman Republic era, around 147-30 BCE. The image is filled with a vibrant and intriguing array of figures, each representing different roles and personas within the Roman society of the time. At the center, we see a group of warriors and soldiers, including legionnaires in their distinctive armor and shields, ready for battle. The legionnaires, infantry soldiers in the Roman legions, are easily identified by their short sword, the gladius, and their large rectangular shield, the scutum. Nearby, a cavalryman sits atop his horse, his armor adorned with intricate designs and his helmet protected by a plume of feathers. A centurion, a senior military officer, stands proudly amongst his men, his eagle standard held aloft, symbolizing the power and authority of the Roman legions. Nearby, an emperor, dressed in the rich purple or red robes, signifying his royal status, is accompanied by his ensign bearers, carrying the imperial standard. Gladiators, entertainers in the Roman society, are also depicted in the image. A murmillo, a sword and shield fighter, a thraex, a thrusting fighter, a hoplomachus, a heavily armed fighter, and a retiarius, a net and trident fighter, are all shown in their distinctive armor and weapons. The image is further enriched by the presence of personifications of Roma, the goddess of the Roman Republic, and Horus, the Egyptian god of the sky, sun, and kingship. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Rome, a time of warriors, emperors, and gladiators.
