EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Lictor riding in front of consuls, ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur and power of ancient Rome. Created by L. F. Labrousse in 1796, this handcoloured copperplate print showcases a scene from Roman society that is both historical and picturesque. In the image, we see a lictor riding confidently on horseback ahead of the consuls. The lictor is adorned in traditional Roman attire, including a galea helmet, tunic, sagulum gregale (short trousers), sandals, and carries fasces and scutum shield - symbols of authority and power. Labrousse's attention to detail brings this moment to life as we witness the strength and dignity of these figures. The engraving highlights not only their military uniform but also their social class within Roman society. The composition transports us back to an era where animals played an integral role in daily life. Horses are depicted alongside other farm animals such as ponies and shire horses – reminding us of the importance placed on livestock during this time. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich history of ancient Rome while showcasing Labrousse's artistic talent. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance behind each element captured within its frame.
