EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Two Roman consuls seated on thrones in ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur and power of ancient Rome. Created by L. F. Labrousse in 1796, it showcases two Roman consuls sitting regally on their thrones, adorned in purple-bordered toga praetexta. The attention to detail is remarkable as they are attended by lictors with fasces, symbolizing their authority. The image offers a glimpse into the political and social structure of ancient Rome. These consuls were not only administrators but also politicians who held significant influence over the population. Their presence exudes an air of justice and power that was integral to maintaining order within society. Labrousse's hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historical period. The intricate costume designs highlight the importance placed on attire and social class during that time. As we observe this scene from the eighteenth century perspective, we can appreciate how history has shaped our understanding of politics and administration today. This print serves as a reminder of our roots and provides insight into how societies have evolved over time.
