EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," showcases an intriguing collection of medals and statues representing the legendary kings and queens of Carthage. The central figures in this illustration are Hannibal, the renowned Carthaginian military commander, and his predecessors, Malchus and Dido. Hannibal, depicted in battle helmets 1 and 2, is shown with an intense expression and a determined gaze, symbolizing his legendary military prowess. The first helmet displays the distinctive crest of an elephant, a nod to Hannibal's famous crossing of the Alps with his elephant army. The second helmet, adorned with the Carthaginian symbol of a tunis, represents his leadership and military successes. Surrounding Hannibal are the statues of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, and Mago, a legendary Carthaginian sage and priest. Ceres is depicted holding a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Mago, with his staff and book, represents wisdom and knowledge. Two other notable figures in this engraving are Malchus, the mythical founder of Carthage, who is shown wielding a massive cudgel, and Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage, who is depicted with an elegant and regal bearing. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of the ancient civilization of Carthage, making it a fascinating and valuable historical artifact.
