EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Publius Helvius Pertinax, a Roman General and Emperor, from "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Holy Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon. The portrait, created by Henry R. Cook in the 19th century, showcases Pertinax's commanding presence with his profile turned towards us. Pertinax's distinguished beard frames his face, adding an air of wisdom and authority to his countenance. A laurel wreath adorns his head, symbolizing victory and accomplishment. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to ancient Rome where rulers like Pertinax held immense power over their empire. The roundel medallion relief on which he is depicted adds depth and dimension to the image. It serves as a reminder that even though time has passed since Pertinax's reign, his legacy lives on through historical records such as this one. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the past - a window into an era filled with grandeur and political intrigue. It reminds us of the rich history that shaped our world today. Displayed in a private collection but made available for all to appreciate through Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanart. com, this portrait invites us to explore not only Pertinax's story but also our own connection to ancient civilizations that have left an indelible mark on human civilization.
