EDITORS COMMENTS
Persian King Darius II, depicted on horseback in this handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), extends a warm welcome to Ambassador Tessalio. The Persian monarch, dressed in the regal attire of the Achaemenid Empire, is shown with a confident and benevolent expression, reaching out his hand in a gesture of peace and friendship. Tessalio, an envoy from Greece, is depicted kneeling before the king, presenting a gift or paying homage. The background of the image is adorned with Persian soldiers and members of the royal court, adding to the grandeur and majesty of the scene. Darius II, also known as Xerxes II or Artaxerxes II, ruled the Persian Empire from 423 to 404 BC. His reign was marked by internal strife and external invasions, including the invasion of Xenophon's Ten Thousand. Despite these challenges, Darius II managed to maintain the Persian Empire's territorial integrity and even expanded its borders through military campaigns. This engraving, created during the late 18th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of the ancient Persian Empire. The intricate details of the costumes, the horses, and the setting are testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver. The image of Darius II greeting Tessalio also highlights the diplomatic relations between the Persian Empire and other ancient civilizations, adding another layer to our understanding of this fascinating period in history.
