EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a comical scene from ancient Rome titled "The Romans clothed by the inhabitants of Capua". Created in 1852 by artist John Leech, this illustration is part of "The Comic History of Rome" by Gilbert A. A. Beckett. The image showcases the humorous concept of Roman citizens being dressed in Campanian attire. In the picture, we see both men and women from different walks of life adorned in colorful garments, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The caricature-like portrayal adds an amusing touch to this satirical representation of history. The setting takes place in Capua, a city located in present-day Italy's Campania region. This engraving transports us back to the 4th century BC when Rome was still a republic. It offers a lighthearted glimpse into how people might have interacted with one another during that time period while highlighting their distinct clothing styles. "The Romans clothed by the inhabitants of Capua" serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humor played an essential role in storytelling and understanding historical events. This artwork provides viewers with an entertaining perspective on ancient Roman culture through its clever combination of satire and artistic skill.
