EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Roman Lictor with Fasces and a Roman Man in Tunic," is an exquisite illustration from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796. The image showcases two figures central to ancient Roman society: a Lictor, identified by his characteristic rectangular bundle of rods and axe known as fasces, and a Roman man dressed in a simple tunic. The Lictor, a magistrate's attendant, played a vital role in maintaining order and enforcing the law within the Roman Republic. The fasces symbolized the power and authority of the magistrate, and the axe within the bundle was a reminder of the Lictor's duty to enforce capital punishment. The man in the tunic, a common Roman citizen, is dressed in the traditional garment of the time. The tunic, made of wool, was worn by both men and women and was often fastened with a fibula, a type of brooch. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy that Robert von Spalart brought to his work. The intricate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and texture, while the vibrant colors bring the figures to life. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Rome, providing a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the classical world.
