EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1843, offers a striking depiction of a Roman senator and consul in their traditional attire. The senator, dressed in the simple and elegant toga, holds a scroll in one hand and a small round box at his feet, symbolizing the power and authority of his office. The consul, seated on a chair, dons a toga picta, a vibrant and ornate toga reserved for high-ranking military officials. The consul's legionary, dressed in a full armor suit, stands behind him, holding the aquila, the symbol of the Roman legion. An aquilifer, the bearer of the eagle standard, stands to the side, also in military attire. This illustration provides a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of ancient Roman society, showcasing the intricate details of their costumes and the significance of their military insignia.
