EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Nerva, a Roman emperor who reigned from 96 to 98 AD. The photograph was taken in 1830 by an unknown creator and is part of the collection "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Nerva's ascension to power came at the age of almost 66 after years of serving under Nero and the rulers of the Flavian dynasty. The portrait showcases Nerva dressed in traditional Roman attire, adorned with a laurel wreath on his head, symbolizing victory. His expression exudes wisdom and authority, reflecting his role as an imperial figure. Behind him stands a book, perhaps representing his knowledge or literary contributions. Notably, Nerva faced challenges during his reign when a revolt by the Praetorian Guard forced him to name Trajan as his heir. This historical event marked a significant turning point for Rome. The photograph provides us with insight into ancient history while also highlighting its preservation through art and literature. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from these influential figures who shaped our world today.
