EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Gordian I (158-238) refusing imperial dignity. The engraving, featured in the "Dictionnaire populaire illustrious" from 1864 by Joseph Decembre and Edmond Allonier, showcases the remarkable decision made by Marcus Antonius Gordianus Sempronianus Romanus Africanus. In this image, we see a powerful representation of political defiance and human integrity. Gordian I's refusal to accept the imperial dignity depicted here is a testament to his principles and values. Despite being offered immense power as king of the Roman Empire during the 2nd century, he chose to reject it. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece skillfully portrays Gordian I's resolute expression as he stands against an empire steeped in history. This portrait serves as a reminder that even those with great authority can choose humility over dominance. As we delve into ancient Rome through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. It reminds us that there were individuals who dared to challenge established norms for what they believed was right. Stefano Bianchetti has expertly captured every intricate detail of this engraving, allowing us to appreciate its significance centuries later. Through his lens, we gain insight into an era where power dynamics clashed with personal convictions – leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
