EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Byzantine Emperor Constans II (630-668) is depicted in regal attire, seated on a throne with his wife Fausta (daughter of Emperor Heraclius) at his side. The emperor, also known as Flavius Constantinus Augustus or Constantine the Bearded, wears a long robe adorned with intricate gold and gemstone patterns, a sign of his imperial status. His beard, as indicated by his moniker, is thick and full, adding to his imposing presence. Fausta, the empress and daughter of Emperor Heraclius, is shown wearing a flowing gown and a diadem, symbolizing her royal status as the emperor's consort. The couple's hands are placed in a gesture of unity, emphasizing their strong bond and their role as co-rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire. This portrait was created as a copperplate engraving for the work "De Roomsche Monarchy" (The Roman Monarchy) by Abraham Bogaerts, published in Utrecht in 1697. The engraving is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Byzantine Empire during the 7th century, and offers a glimpse into the lives of its powerful rulers. Constans II is known for his military conquests, including the reconquest of Carthage from the Arabs, and his efforts to strengthen the Byzantine Empire's defenses against external threats. Fausta, on the other hand, is remembered for her role as a supportive and influential empress, who played a key role in the political and social life of the empire. This portrait is a valuable historical document, providing insights into the appearance and symbolism of the Byzantine imperial court during the 7th century. It also underscores the enduring legacy of the Roman imperial tradition, which continued to shape European art and culture for centuries to come.
