EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), captures the essence of a Roman bride and groom in the presence of the goddess Juno. The bride, adorned in the traditional Roman wedding attire, wears a veil known as a flamnum, which symbolized her transition into married life and protection from evil spirits. The veil was often held by the bride's matron of honor or her mother during the ceremony. The groom, dressed in the toga virilis, the traditional Roman tunic worn by adult males, signifies his transition into manhood and marriage. The goddess Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, is depicted in her regal attire, adorned with a crown of stars and holding a scepter. She is the guardian of married women and the protector of the Roman state. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of ancient Roman weddings, where the presence of the gods was believed to bless the union of the couple. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the robes to the intricate patterns on the goddess's crown, showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver. This beautiful and historic print is a testament to the enduring fascination with the customs and traditions of ancient civilizations.
