EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Portrait of Roman Emperor Pupienus (Marcus Clodius Pupienus Maximus Augustus) This portrait depicts Marcus Clodius Pupienus Maximus, also known as Pupienus, who ruled as Roman Emperor from 238 AD. The image is a copperplate engraving taken from "De Roomsche Monarchy," a comprehensive work on Roman monarchy published in Utrecht, Netherlands, in 1697 by Francois Salma. The engraving was created by Abraham Bogaert. Pupienus, born around 170 AD, was a member of the equestrian order and was adopted by Emperor Gordian III as his co-ruler in 238 AD. Together, they ruled as the Gordian Dynasty, with Pupienus taking the titles Marcus Antonius Gordianus Pius and Augustus. The portrait shows Pupienus wearing the traditional Roman imperial attire, including a toga and a diadem adorned with pearls and gemstones. His expression is serious, and his gaze is steady, conveying the weight of responsibility that came with his position. The copperplate engraving technique, popular during the 17th century, involved creating an image on a copper plate using a sharp tool, such as a burin, and then inking and printing the image onto paper. This method allowed for intricate details and high-quality reproductions, making it an ideal choice for producing accurate and detailed portraits of historical figures like Pupienus. As a token of their joint rule, Pupienus and Gordian III issued coins bearing their images and titles. These coins, which can be found in various collections around the world, serve as valuable historical records and provide insight into the appearance and iconography of the Roman emperors during this period. This portrait of Pupienus offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Roman Empire and the individuals who shaped its destiny. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman art and the continued fascination with the lives and achievements of the Caesars and Kaisers who ruled ancient Rome.
