"Roman Soldiers Building a Fort" is plate 21 from the historical and ethnographic work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" (The Ancient and Modern Costume), authored by the Italian writer Giulio Ferrario, commonly known as Jules Ferrario. The work was published in the early 19th century, specifically around the 1820s to 1830s, and was illustrated by various artists under the direction of Ferrario. The publication was an extensive survey of the world's costumes and cultural practices, aiming to document the diversity of human dress and customs throughout history and across different regions.

The plate in question depicts a scene from ancient Roman military life, showcasing the engineering skills and discipline of Roman soldiers as they construct a fortification. The illustration is a reflection of Ferrario's commitment to historical accuracy and detail, as it is based on descriptions from ancient texts and archaeological findings of the time. The image serves as a visual representation of the military practices of the Roman Empire, highlighting the logistical and organizational prowess that contributed to Rome's expansion and control over vast territories.

"Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was published by Vittorio Raineri, an Italian publisher known for producing works with rich illustrations. The series was influential in its time for its comprehensive approach to the study of costumes and was widely circulated among scholars and the interested public. Plate 21, like the other illustrations in the series, is not only a valuable historical document but also an example of the fine lithographic art that characterized the book's production.

The work of Jules Ferrario, including "Roman Soldiers Building a Fort," is significant for its contribution to the early 19th-century understanding of historical and cultural studies. It remains a valuable resource for historians, fashion scholars, and anyone interested in the visual culture of the past.
