Roman Legionaries and Military Equipment - Historical Illustration #1978542 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white historical engraving illustrates five figures from ancient Rome: one civilian in a toga holding a basket and bag, and four soldiers in varying armor-including segmented lorica, helmets with crests, oval scuta shields, and a vexillum standard. The central soldier holds a lituus-shaped signum topped with an aquila, indicating a centurion or standard-bearer role. Fine cross-hatching renders texture and depth, typical of 19th-century archaeological reconstructions.
