EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the military might and weaponry of the ancient Carthaginian civilization. The image showcases several Carthaginian soldiers, each clad in protective breastplates and helmets (1, 2), reflecting the advanced level of armor technology during the time. The prominent shield of Hannibal, the legendary Carthaginian military commander, is depicted in the foreground (3), its distinctive decorative design a testament to the artistic prowess of the Carthaginians. The engraving also reveals the Carthaginians' formidable war machines, including a battering ram housed within a portable hut covered in cowhide (4). This ingenious invention allowed the Carthaginians to bring the destructive power of a ram to the battlefield, enabling them to breach the walls of their enemies' fortifications. The ram itself, a symbol of raw power and determination, is a striking contrast to the intricate details of the soldiers' armor and shields. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant handcolouring bring this scene to life, transporting us back to the ancient world and allowing us to witness the military prowess of the Carthaginians. This illustration is not only a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also a valuable historical record of the weapons and soldiers that shaped the course of ancient history.
