EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 depicts an Emperor in military uniform, harkening back to the ancient glory of Rome. The detailed print showcases the Emperor adorned with a laurel wreath, an ornate breastplate, and a paludamentum cloak. His attire also includes a tunic, short trousers or sagulum gregale, and caligae hobnail boots, all symbolizing his authority and power. The Emperor stands confidently in front of a magnificent throne surrounded by statues of gods and goddesses. This composition highlights the divine connection between the ruler and the deities that were worshipped during ancient Roman times. Created by L. F. Labrousse under the direction of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur for "L'antique Rome" this handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures both historical accuracy and artistic prowess. It offers viewers a glimpse into the splendor of Ancient Rome's social hierarchy, military might, and opulent fashion. With its intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life through handcoloring techniques, this print transports us back to an era where emperors reigned supreme over vast territories. It serves as a testament to France's fascination with antiquity during the eighteenth century while providing valuable insights into Roman culture for historians today.
