EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Floating Palace of Hieron, King of Syracuse This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the legendary Floating Palace of Hieron, the ancient king of Syracuse, a city located in eastern Sicily, Italy. The image is taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1798. Hieron II, the tyrant of Syracuse from 270 to 215 BC, was renowned for his wealth and extravagance. He commissioned the construction of this magnificent floating palace, which was said to be made entirely of gold and silver, adorned with precious gems, and supported by a fleet of ships. The palace was designed to be dismantled and reassembled at various locations, providing Hieron with a mobile residence and a grand display of his power and wealth. The engraving showcases the palace in full splendor, with its intricate architecture, ornate decorations, and the surrounding fleet of ships. The image also includes figures of attendants, likely slaves, rowing the boats that accompanied the palace. The handcoloring adds an element of vibrancy and richness to the print, enhancing the visual appeal of this historical masterpiece. This image offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of ancient Sicily and the fascinating world of Hieron II, a king whose legend continues to captivate the imagination of scholars and history enthusiasts alike. The Floating Palace of Hieron serves as a testament to the ingenuity and wealth of the ancient world, and the enduring allure of classical history.
