EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Diocletian, an ancient Roman emperor who ruled during the 3rd century. The portrait, taken in 1890 by an unknown creator, showcases a side view of Diocletian's profile, emphasizing his regal presence and commanding demeanor. Diocletianus Gaius Aurelius Valerius, commonly known as Diocletian, was a significant figure in Roman history. This image is extracted from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome", a renowned book written by Edmund Ollier in the late 19th century. The monochrome engraving beautifully depicts Diocletian's face with intricate details that highlight his authority and power. His strong features are accentuated by the shadows and lines etched onto this historic piece of art. As one gazes upon this portrait, it transports us back to ancient Rome where emperors held immense influence over their country and currency. The coinage concept depicted alongside him symbolizes his role in shaping Rome's financial system during his reign. Though created more than a millennium after Diocletian's time, this print serves as a window into history; offering us glimpses into the life of this remarkable leader. It reminds us of the rich heritage left behind by those who came before us while also showcasing the artistic talent prevalent during the 19th century. This print is not only an object of historical significance but also
