EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Roman Emperor Claudius II, also known as Claudius Gothicus or Marcus Aurelius Valerius Claudius Augustus, who ruled from 268 to 270 AD. The image is a beautiful copperplate engraving taken from the seminal work "The Roman Monarchy" by Francois Salma, published in Utrecht in 1697. The engraving was produced by the renowned engraver Abraham Bogaerts. Claudius II is shown in regal attire, wearing a toga and a laurel wreath, symbolizing his imperial power and military triumphs. He is known for his successful defense of Rome against the Gothic invasion in 268 AD, earning him the nickname "Gothicus." His strong and determined expression conveys the leadership and courage required to protect the Roman Empire during a time of great threat. The portrait is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Roman Empire during the late antique period. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the skill and craftsmanship of the engraver, while the historical context provides valuable insights into the political and cultural climate of ancient Rome. The image of Claudius II is an important token of the rich history and enduring legacy of the Roman Caesars and Kaisers, whose influence continues to shape our understanding of the classical world. This beautiful and intriguing portrait is a must-have for any collection focused on Roman history, art, or ancient civilization.
