EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to ancient Greece, depicting a striking portrait of Miltiad (Miltiades) the Young. As an Athenian strategy and tyrant of Chersonese in Thrace, Miltiad played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of his time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this print, capturing the essence of Miltiad's character and leadership through intricate lines and shading. His piercing gaze reflects wisdom beyond his years, while his regal posture exudes confidence and authority. Miltiad's contribution to Athens cannot be overstated. He was not only a skilled military strategist but also a statesman who navigated complex political dynamics with finesse. This portrait serves as a reminder of his pivotal role in defending Athens against external threats and expanding its influence throughout ancient Greece. As we admire this antique piece, we are reminded of the rich history that lies behind it. The engraving stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of individuals like Miltiad who shaped civilizations through their intellect, courage, and vision. Thanks to Giancarlo Costa for preserving this remarkable piece from antiquity so that we may continue to appreciate its beauty today. Through art such as this engraving, we gain insight into our shared human heritage and draw inspiration from those who came before us.
