EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Constantine the Great" from Edward Gibbon's renowned book, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". The lithograph, created by Henry R. Cook in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of Flavius Valerius Constantinus (c. 274-337), commonly known as Constantine the Great. In this striking profile portrait, we see a distinguished male figure with a regal presence. Adorned with a laurel wreath upon his head, symbolizing victory and honor, Constantine exudes power and authority as an emperor and ruler. His well-groomed beard adds to his dignified appearance. Constantine's significance in history cannot be overstated - he was instrumental in shaping ancient Rome and establishing what would become known as the Holy Roman Empire. This relief roundel medallion offers us a glimpse into his world; it transports us back to an era where emperors held immense influence over vast territories. Preserved within a private collection, this extraordinary image reminds us of our rich historical heritage. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation that has stood the test of time.
