EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to ancient Rome, circa 100 BC, showcasing an intriguing assemblage of Roman shoes, helmets, ornaments, and other objects. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and military aspects of Roman life during this period. In the foreground, a pair of Caligae, the typical Roman military shoe, is displayed. These shoes, made of leather and featuring hobnails for added traction, were worn by the legionaries. The Caligae were designed to be durable and practical, enabling the soldiers to march long distances and endure the rigors of battle. Next to the Caligae, a Lorica Segmentata, a type of Roman armor, is depicted. This armor was made up of small rectangular metal plates that were laced together, providing excellent protection for the chest and back. The helmet displayed, a Montefortino Helmet, was a common type used by the Roman legions. It featured a convex shape and a nasal guard, designed to protect the wearer from head injuries and stabbing attacks. The print also reveals various ornaments and objects, such as a gladiatorial crest, a military standard, and a decorative brooch. These items provide evidence of the rich cultural and artistic traditions that flourished in ancient Rome. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of Roman history and the intriguing details that continue to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike. The various shoes, helmets, ornaments, and objects depicted offer a unique window into the daily life, military practices, and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Roman civilization.
