EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Sassanian Empire's kings as depicted in a bas relief at Naqsh-e Rustam in Iran. The top part of the image illustrates the crowning ceremony of Ardashir I and his divine companion, Ahura Mazda, as they triumphantly place their feet on the bodies of their defeated enemies, Artabanus and Ahriman. The scene below portrays Persian Emperor Shapur I on horseback, capturing Roman Emperor Valerian, while Philip the Arab pleads for peace. The Sassanian Empire, which flourished from 224 to 651 AD, was renowned for its rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements. The elaborate costumes of its kings reflected their divine status and the power they wielded. Ardashir I, the empire's founder, is depicted in the image wearing a tall, conical crown adorned with precious stones and a long, flowing robe. His divine companion, Ahura Mazda, wears a radiant angelic outfit, symbolizing the Zoroastrian faith's influence on the empire. The lower part of the image displays Emperor Shapur I, dressed in a military uniform, triumphantly capturing Roman Emperor Valerian, who is shown in Roman attire. Philip the Arab, wearing a Persian robe and holding a scepter, is depicted seeking peace. The intricate details of the bas relief, including the horses' hooves stamping on the bodies of the defeated enemies and the ornate costumes, are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and power of the Sassanian Empire.
