Roman dragons
Romawi naga
The Dacian Draco . The Dasia Draco.
Roman dragons evolved from serpentine Greek ones, combined with the dragons of the Near East , in the mix that characterized the hybrid Greek/Eastern Hellenistic culture. Roman naga berevolusi dari Yunani yang berkelok-kelok, dikombinasikan dengan naga dari Timur Dekat, dalam campuran yang menjadi ciri hibrida Yunani / Timur Helenistik budaya. From Babylon , the musrussu was a classic representation of a Near Eastern dragon. Dari Babel, yang musrussu klasik adalah representasi dari Timur Dekat naga. John's Book of Revelation — Greek literature, not Roman — describes Satan as "a great dragon, flaming red, with seven heads and ten horns". John's Kitab Wahyu - literatur Yunani, bukan Romawi - menggambarkan setan sebagai "naga besar, merah padam, dengan tujuh kepala dan sepuluh tanduk". Much of John's literary inspiration is late Hebrew and Greek, but John's dragon is more likely to have come originally through the Near East. [ 1 ] Perhaps the distinctions between dragons of western origin and Chinese dragons are arbitrary, since the later Roman dragon was certainly of Iranian origin: in the Roman Empire, where each military cohort had a particular identifying signum , (military standard), after the Parthian and Dacian Wars of Trajan in the east, the Dacian Draco military standard entered the Legion with the Cohors Sarmatarum and Cohors Dacorum ( Sarmatian and Dacian cohorts ) — a large dragon fixed to the end of a lance , with large gaping jaws of silver and with the rest of the body formed of colored silk. Banyak inspirasi sastra Yohanes terlambat Ibrani dan Yunani, tetapi naga Yohanes lebih cenderung datang awalnya melalui Timur Dekat. [1] Mungkin perbedaan antara asal-usul naga barat dan naga cina bersifat arbitrer, karena naga Romawi kemudian pasti asal Iran: di Kekaisaran Romawi, di mana setiap kelompok militer telah mengidentifikasi signum tertentu, (standar militer), setelah Parthia dan Dasia Perang dari Trayanus di timur, Draco Dasia standar militer memasuki Legiun dengan Cohors Sarmatarum dan Cohors Dacorum (Sarmatian dan Dasia kohort) - naga besar tetap ke ujung tombak, dengan rahang menganga besar perak dan dengan seluruh tubuh yang terbentuk dari sutra berwarna. With the jaws facing into the wind, the silken body inflated and rippled, resembling a windsock . [ 2 ] This signum is described in the surviving epitome of Vegetius De Re Militari 379 CE: Dengan rahang menghadap ke dalam angin, tubuh sutra inflasi dan bergelombang, mirip windsock. [2] signum ini digambarkan dalam lambang yang masih hidup Vegetius De Re Militari 379 CE:
The first sign of the entire legion is the eagle, which the eagle-bearer carries. Tanda pertama dari seluruh legiun adalah elang, yang membawa elang-pembawa. In addition, dragons are carried into battle by each cohort, by the 'dragoneers' [ 3 ] Selain itu, naga yang dibawa ke dalam pertempuran oleh masing-masing kelompok, oleh 'dragoneers' [3]
and in Ammianus Marcellinus , xvi. dan di Ammianus Marcellinus, xvi. 10, 7 [ 4 ] It is hard to resist giving this Romanized Parthian dragon a distant Chinese origin [ neutrality is disputed ] . 10, 7 [4] Sulit untuk menolak memberikan Parthia Romanized ini naga jauh asal Cina [netralitas yang diperdebatkan].
