Taken from Trachten der Voelker, a renowned publication in 1864, this colour lithograph by Albert Kretschmer offers a glimpse into the opulent fashion of that era. The image features several prominent figures such as Emperor Theodosius, Empress Aelia Flacilla, and Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem. The attire depicted in this print is nothing short of regal and resplendent. Consuls, politicians, soldiers, and clergy members are adorned in elaborate costumes that reflect their status and power. From daggers to staffs, helmets to headbands, every detail has been meticulously captured.
