The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The image captures the profile portrait of Emperor Maximian, also known as Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus or Maximianus Herculius. As one of the rulers during the Roman Empire's golden age, Maximian exudes power and authority through his stern expression and regal demeanor.
