EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Roman Emperor Domitian, Titus Flavius Caesar Domitianus Augustus (51AD-96AD), who ruled the Roman Empire from 81 to 96 AD. The portrait is a copperplate engraving from "De Roomsche Monarchy," a comprehensive work on the Roman Monarchy published in Utrecht in 1697 by Francois Salma. The engraving was produced by Abraham Bogaert. Domitian's regal presence is conveyed through his stern expression, piercing gaze, and the imperial diadem adorning his head. His clothing, consisting of a toga and a pallium, is typical of Roman imperial attire. The background is simple, with no extraneous details, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the emperor himself. Domitian was the sixth and last emperor of the Flavian dynasty. His reign was marked by military campaigns, political repression, and a focus on restoring the grandeur of Rome. He was succeeded by Emperor Nerva, who began the Nervan-Antonian dynasty. This portrait provides a glimpse into the visual representation of power during the Roman Empire, and the enduring influence of Roman culture on European art and history. The intricacies of the copperplate engraving technique are evident in the fine details of Domitian's features, clothing, and the texture of the toga fabric. The portrait serves as a valuable historical and artistic artifact, offering insights into the image and legacy of a Roman emperor.
