This engraving depicts the grand union of Ataulf, King of the Visigoths, and Galla Placidia, daughter of the esteemed Roman Emperor Theodosius I. Created by a German School artist in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures an important moment in history. The image showcases a lavish feast held to celebrate this significant marriage between two powerful families.

It represents a turning point where ancient traditions merge with new beginnings. Amidst all the feasting and merriment, one cannot help but notice Queen Galla Placidia radiating elegance and grace while standing beside her beloved King Ataulf. Their love story unfolds against a historical backdrop filled with political intrigue and cultural exchange.
