EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Dacian Women," is an intriguing glimpse into the history and culture of the Dacian tribe, an ancient people who inhabited present-day Romania and parts of modern-day Moldova and Ukraine. The image is taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796. The Dacian women depicted in this engraving are shown wearing traditional attire that reflects their connection to nature and their warrior spirit. They wear long, flowing dresses adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, which are believed to have been made from the hides of animals. The women also wear elaborate headdresses, adorned with feathers and other natural materials, which may have served both decorative and protective purposes. The Dacians were known for their fierce resistance against the Roman Empire, with their most famous leader being Burebista, who ruled from 82 to 44 BC. The Romans eventually conquered the Dacians, but their legacy lived on in the rich history and folklore of the region. This engraving offers a unique and valuable insight into the appearance and customs of the Dacian women, providing a tangible connection to a people and a time long past. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloring bring the image to life, making it a captivating addition to any historical collection.
