EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases an array of ancient weaponry and attire. The focal point of the image is a collection of Phrygian helmets, each adorned with intricate designs and symbols. These helmets were commonly worn by soldiers in ancient times, providing protection during battle. Accompanying the helmets are various weapons including a bow, bipennis (double-headed axe), quiver filled with arrows, and a javelin. These tools of war represent the skill and strength required for combat in classical times. The figure depicted in this engraving wears a tunic, which was a common garment worn by both men and women in ancient Greece and Rome. The tunic drapes elegantly over their body, emphasizing the flowing lines of classical fashion. This detailed illustration was created as part of Thomas Hope's "Costume of the Ancients" published in 1841. It offers viewers a glimpse into the clothing and weaponry used by our ancestors centuries ago. As we observe this print today, it serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved throughout history while also highlighting humanity's enduring fascination with warfare. This artwork allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also gain insight into our collective past.
