EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, later known as Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus, during his tenure as the Roman Emperor from AD 54 to 68. At the age of thirty-seven, Nero was known for his extravagant lifestyle and questionable rule, but this image captures him in a more humble moment. Blind in one eye, Nero is depicted at the Roman Games, an event where the emperor would often preside and ensure the fairness of the contests. In this instance, Nero uses an emerald as an eyeglass to aid his vision, a testament to the advanced knowledge and resources available to the Roman elite during this period. Born in AD 37, Nero was the stepson of the infamous Emperor Claudius and the grandnephew of Caligula. Despite his controversial reign, Nero's rule was marked by significant achievements, including the rebuilding of Rome after the Great Fire of AD 64 and the establishment of the Neronian literary and artistic Golden Age. However, this image offers a glimpse into a more personal side of the emperor, showcasing his participation in the traditional Roman pastime of the Games and his use of an innovative solution to overcome a physical limitation. The emerald eyeglass, a rare and valuable gem, underscores the wealth and power that Nero wielded during his reign. This historical print provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Rome's most enigmatic emperors, offering a unique perspective on the man behind the myth.
