EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Euric (420-484), the King of the Visigoths from 466 to 484. Euric is considered one of the most important and influential rulers of the Visigothic Kingdom in Hispania (modern-day Spain). He is shown here in a vertical, upright, black and white portrait, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, with a serious and determined expression on his face. Euric is known for his significant contributions to the legal and political framework of the Visigothic Kingdom. He is the author of the "Fuero Juzgo," a comprehensive legal code that established a unified system of law for the kingdom and served as the basis for Spanish law for centuries to come. This code addressed various aspects of society, including criminal law, property law, and family law. Euric's reign also marked a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Visigothic Kingdom. He is depicted here holding a book, symbolizing his dedication to the written word and the importance of education and knowledge in governance. As a powerful and effective ruler, Euric is often considered a model of justice and law in the context of early European history. His political policies and institutional reforms laid the foundation for the development of the Spanish state and the European legal tradition. This engraving is a testament to his enduring legacy and the significant impact he had on the history of Europe.
