EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Roman Emperor Severus Alexander (r. 222-235 AD), also known as Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus. The emperor is shown dressed in the traditional Roman toga, adorned with the imperial purple, and wearing the laurel wreath as a symbol of his military victories. In one hand, he holds a sacrificial bowl, indicating his role as a priest of the Roman state religion. The presence of the gods Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva in the background underscores the emperor's divine connection and authority. The rural setting of the portrait, with the emperor standing before a plow and a pair of oxen, signifies his role as a farmer and provider for his people. This image was likely intended to emphasize Severus Alexander's piety, military prowess, and his ability to ensure the prosperity of the empire. The copperplate engraving, created by the renowned Dutch engraver Abraham Bogaert (1630-1697) for the publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" (The Roman Monarchy) by Francois Salma in Utrecht in 1697, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the emperor's appearance and the iconography of the time. The image also includes depictions of centurions and soldiers engaged in military maneuvers, as well as structures and tents of a Roman encampment. This portrait offers a glimpse into the classical world of ancient Rome, providing insight into the appearance, symbolism, and power of the Roman emperors. The intricate details and masterful technique of the copperplate engraving further enhance the visual appeal and historical significance of this image.
