EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Walia or Valia, the King of the Visigoths who ruled from 415 to 419 AD. During his reign, the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe, established a kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, which is now modern-day Spain and Portugal. Walia was a member of the Balthic or Balthing dynasty, also known as the Balts or Baltungs, and is believed to have been born in Gallia, which is now France. The Visigothic Kingdom was the first Germanic state to emerge in the Western Roman Empire, and Walia's rule marked a significant period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. His reign was marked by military campaigns against the Romans and the establishment of a stable government. Walia's portrait, as depicted in this engraving, shows him as a monarch of authority and power, wearing regal attire and holding a scepter. The use of color in the engraving adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a striking representation of a pivotal figure in European history. The Visigoths, under Walia's leadership, played a crucial role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of the Iberian Peninsula. Their influence can still be seen in the art, language, and traditions of the region today. This engraving is a testament to the enduring legacy of Walia and the Visigothic Kingdom in European history.
