EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Flavius Domitian, the Roman Emperor who reigned from 81 to 96 AD. Created by Aegidius Sadeler II, a renowned artist of the seventeenth century, this engraving showcases the regal stature of Domitian. The portrait depicts him wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing his status as ruler of the Roman Empire. Flavius Domitian's reign has long been debated by historians, with conflicting views on his character and actions. While traditionally seen as a tyrannical despot responsible for persecuting Christians and Jews, some modern scholars challenge this perception. This image invites us to contemplate the complexities of his rule and question historical narratives. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this portrait, allowing us to connect with history in a unique way. As we gaze upon Domitian's face, we are transported back to ancient Rome—a country that witnessed both grandeur and turmoil under his leadership. This print is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a testament to Aegidius Sadeler II's artistic skill in capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotions through intricate details. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Roman history while contemplating themes such as religion, power dynamics, and political tyranny.
