The image showcases his bearded face and distinguished appearance, reflecting the nobility and power he possessed. Pericles played a crucial role in leading his countrymen through the early years of the Peloponnesian War while also promoting arts, literature, and architectural projects at the Acropolis. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Greece's golden age when great minds like Pericles shaped history with their political prowess.
