EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the ruins of the Drususstein, or Drusus stone mausoleum, located near Mainz, Germany. The mausoleum was built in honor of Nero Claudius Drusus, the elder stepbrother of the famous Roman emperor Augustus, who died in battle against the Chatti Germanic tribes in 9 BC. Drusus is shown in apotheosis, or divine glory, atop the mausoleum, surrounded by symbols of the Roman Empire and personifications of the earth (Gaia) and the god of the sea (Neptune). Drusus is depicted in military attire, wearing a helmet and holding a spear, signifying his victories and his role as a powerful Roman general. The mausoleum itself is adorned with intricate decorations, including a cameo of Drusus and his family, carved from sardonyx, and various other historical gems and intaglios. The inscription on the mausoleum reads "Detta," which means "given" or "granted" in Latin, reflecting the idea that Drusus' accomplishments and sacrifices were granted to the Roman people and the wider "oikoumene," or inhabited world, by the gods. This engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1844. The detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the historical fashion and artistic sensibilities of the time, as well as the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire.
