EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabili in 1820, showcases a Roman consul believed to be Virgilio, on display at the Vatican's Capitoline Museum in Rome. The statue, a significant piece of ancient Roman civilization, is a testament to the grandeur and power of the Roman Republic. Virgilio, a renowned Roman statesman and military leader, lived during the late Republic era, around 116-50 BC. He held numerous high offices, including that of consul in 53 BC, and was known for his exceptional military prowess and political acumen. This statue, with its stoic expression and imposing presence, embodies the strength and dignity of the Roman consul. The Capitoline Museum, located at the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, is one of the oldest public museums in the world. It houses a vast collection of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions, and other artifacts, providing invaluable insights into the history and culture of ancient Rome. This engraving, a beautiful representation of the museum's collection, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Roman civilization. The intricate details of the consul's armor, the folds of his toga, and the texture of his hair are all meticulously captured in this engraving, making it a stunning work of art in its own right. The use of copperplate engraving, a popular technique during the 18th and 19th centuries, adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing the statue to life for viewers even centuries after its creation.
