EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored copperplate engraving by Giovanni Paglianti, we witness a scene of ancient Greek warriors preparing for battle. The image is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842. The Greek warriors are depicted in intricate helmets and armor, adorned with labarum standards. Each warrior holds a shield and a lance, their expressions determined and focused. A woman, perhaps a priestess or a goddess, approaches the scene, bearing a patera bowl and a vase. She may be offering a blessing or performing a ritual to invoke the gods' favor before the battle. The warriors' armor is meticulously detailed, with scale barding covering their horses and iron pins securing their bridles. Some warriors are shown riding bareback, while others are mounting their horses in the "maniera di montare cavallo" or cavalier style. The warriors' helmets vary in design, some featuring crests and others plain, while their armor ranges from full suits to breastplates and greaves. The engraving showcases the intricacies of ancient Greek military method and fashion. The warriors' armor and weapons reflect the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the Greek civilization. The inclusion of the woman adds an element of mythology and religion to the scene, highlighting the importance of these beliefs in ancient Greek culture. Overall, this engraving is a stunning representation of ancient Greek military life and offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this remarkable civilization.
