EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Cornelia Salonina, wife of the Roman Emperor Gallienus, during the mid-3rd century. The portrait captures her regal essence and delicate features, revealing a glimpse into the life of this influential woman. As the wife of Gallienus, who ruled as co-emperor with his father Valerian before reigning alone, Cornelia played an integral role in shaping the Roman Empire. Although history remains silent about her fate following Gallienus' tragic death while besieging Milan in 268, Cornelia's legacy lives on through her children - Valerian II, Saloninus, and Marinianus. This exquisite marble bust found in The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg serves as a testament to her significance within Roman society. The intricate details carved into this sculpture reflect both artistic mastery and historical importance. Every curve and contour brings forth a sense of elegance befitting an empress. Its vibrant color palette adds depth to its already mesmerizing presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from ancient Rome, we are transported back to a time when power was embodied by those who possessed not only political influence but also grace and poise.
