EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Emperor Leo II: A Glimpse into the Past - Ancient Rome Meets Prehistoric Marine Creatures" This portrait of Roman Emperor Leo II, also known as Flavius Leo Augustus or Leo the Thracian, dates back to the late 5th century AD. The engraving is an exquisite example from the comprehensive work "The Roman Monarchy" by Francois Salma, published in Utrecht in 1697. The portrait, created by Abraham Bogaerts, showcases the regal emperor with a serious expression, donning the traditional imperial attire, symbolizing his power and authority. However, the intriguing juxtaposition of this historical masterpiece with prehistoric marine creatures adds an unexpected yet fascinating twist. In the background, we see Leo II surrounded by a lively scene of a Plesiosaurus and an Ichthyosaurus, both extinct marine reptiles from the Mesozoic Era, specifically the Jurassic period. These creatures, vividly illustrated in color, appear to frolic in the South German Sea, providing a stark contrast to the ancient Roman setting. The inclusion of these prehistoric creatures can be attributed to the influential work of naturalists such as Hugo Wolff, Maage Wilhelm Bolsche, and others who contributed to the development of zoology and paleontology during the late 17th century. Their groundbreaking discoveries and illustrations of extinct creatures piqued the interest of artists and scholars alike, leading to the integration of prehistoric life into various artistic and scientific works. This unique blend of ancient history and prehistoric life serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the past and the ever-evolving understanding of our world's rich history. The portrait of Emperor Leo II, with its captivating backdrop, not only showcases the grandeur of the Roman Empire but also highlights the intriguing connections between our past and the prehistoric world.
