EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a Roman woman in elegant conversation with the goddess Flora, both adorned in the distinctive attire of the panula, a Roman alternative to the toga. The panula, a light and airy garment, was typically worn by women of the upper classes and was considered a symbol of wealth and refinement. The Roman woman, with her luxurious hairstyle and intricately woven headdress, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her attire consists of a thin, flowing undergarment, known as a stola, which is covered by the panula, a large rectangular piece of fabric draped over one shoulder and secured at the waist with a belt. The goddess Flora, identified by her cornucopia and flowers, adds an ethereal and mystical element to the scene. This engraving 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. Spalart, a renowned artist and historian, meticulously researched and documented the costumes and fashion trends of various historical periods, providing a valuable record of the past. This particular image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and fashion of ancient Rome, as well as the mythological world of its gods and goddesses.
