EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Roman Emperor Maximian, also known as Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus Herculius Augustus, who ruled the Roman Empire from AD 286 to 305. Maximian is shown in regal attire, wearing a laurel wreath and holding a scepter, symbolizing his imperial power. The portrait is a copperplate engraving taken from Abraham Bogaert's seminal work, "De Roomsche Monarchy," published in Utrecht in 1697. Maximian is often associated with his co-emperor Constantius I Chlorus, who was the father of Constantine the Great. Together, they formed a powerful ruling partnership that helped stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political instability. Maximian's reign was marked by military successes against the Sassanid Empire and the Germanic tribes, as well as efforts to reform the Roman currency and improve the economy. The intricately detailed engraving captures the essence of classical Roman art, with its idealized representation of the human form and meticulous attention to detail. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman imperial power and the artistic achievements of the 17th century. The image of Maximian serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to influence our world today.
