EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Ancient Greek method of mounting and riding a horse bareback. In the image, a young cavalryman, dressed in a chlamys, the traditional Greek cloak, skillfully mounts his steed using an unconventional technique. He holds his lance and bridle in his right hand, while placing his right foot on an iron pin protruding from the lance. Another fully armored rider, also bareback, rides alongside, adding a sense of martial grandeur to the scene. The woman in the background, perhaps offering a drink or a gesture of encouragement, adds a touch of femininity and grace to the otherwise militaristic image. The riders' fillets, myrtle branches, and victory fillets signify triumph and victory in Ancient Greek culture. The intricate details of the armor, barding, and other accessories are beautifully rendered, providing a rich historical context for this illustration. This image, titled "Maniera di montare a cavallo," or "The Way to Mount a Horse," offers a unique perspective on Ancient Greek equestrian customs and the importance of horsemanship in their society. The engraving is a testament to the artistic skill and historical knowledge of the time, making it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the ancient world.
