EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Liuva II, the Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania, and Galicia from 601 to 603 AD. Born in the late 6th century, Liuva II succeeded his father, Reccared I, as king after his father's conversion to Catholicism. Liuva II's reign was marked by military campaigns against the Byzantines in the eastern Iberian Peninsula and the Basques in the north. In this portrait, Liuva II is depicted in high medieval attire, wearing a helmet adorned with intricate designs and a long, flowing beard. The engraving captures the king in profile, with a serious expression on his face, suggesting the weight of responsibility that came with ruling during a time of political and military instability. The image is a 19th-century engraving, likely based on an earlier original from the 7th century. The engraving provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the Visigothic monarchy and the artistic techniques of the time. Liuva II's portrait is an important historical artifact, offering insights into the appearance and demeanor of a monarch who ruled during a pivotal period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula.
