EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Nicolas Rockox: The Flemish Magistrate, Archeologist, and Numismatist" Nicolas Rockox (1560-1640) was a prominent figure in the history of Flanders during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This image depicts the distinguished gentleman, dressed in the attire of the time, with an air of wisdom and authority. Born in Antwerp, Rockox began his career as a magistrate, serving the Council of Brabant and later becoming the mayor of Antwerp in 1616. However, his interests extended far beyond the realm of law and governance. Rockox was an avid archeologist and numismatist, with a deep passion for unearthing the rich history of his native Flanders. His contributions to the field of archeology were significant, as he played a crucial role in the excavation of the Roman ruins at Tongeren and Bavay. These discoveries provided valuable insights into the ancient history of the region and helped to solidify Flanders' connection to its Roman past. As a numismatist, Rockox amassed an impressive collection of coins, which he meticulously cataloged and studied. His extensive knowledge of ancient coins was instrumental in the identification and authentication of numerous rare and valuable specimens. This photograph print, capturing the likeness of this remarkable man, serves as a testament to his multifaceted accomplishments. A true polymath of his time, Nicolas Rockox left an indelible mark on the history of Flanders through his work as a magistrate, archeologist, and numismatist.
