"Lictors and Soldiers from the Retinue of Titus, costumes for 'Berenice', from Volume II of 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations' by Philippe Chery, is a detailed study of the attire worn by these historical figures in the context of theatrical performances. Philippe Chery, an esteemed scholar in the field of theatrical costume design, meticulously compiled this work as part of his broader research into the historical and cultural significance of stage costumes across different nations and eras.

In this volume, Chery focuses on the specific costumes used in the play 'Berenice', a tragedy written by the French dramatist Jean Racine in 1670. The play is set in the Roman Empire and revolves around the doomed love affair between the Roman Emperor Titus and the Queen of Judea, Berenice. The costumes designed for the lictors and soldiers in Titus's retinue are particularly noteworthy for their historical accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting the Roman military attire of the period.

Chery's research delves into the various elements that constitute these costumes, including the materials, colors, and accessories that were traditionally used. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the symbolic meanings behind the attire, such as the significance of the fasces carried by the lictors, which were emblematic of their authority and the power of the Roman state. The soldiers' costumes are also examined in detail, highlighting the armor, helmets, and weaponry that were characteristic of Roman legionaries.

Through his meticulous documentation and scholarly approach, Chery's work offers valuable insights into the intersection of historical authenticity and theatrical representation. His study not only enhances our understanding of the visual and cultural aspects of 'Berenice' but also contributes to the broader field of costume history and theatrical studies. This volume remains a significant resource for historians, costume designers, and theatre practitioners interested in the rich tapestry of historical costume design."
