EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Roman Emperor Decius, also known as Gaius Messius Quintus Trajanus Decius Augustus, who ruled from 201 to 251 AD. The image is a copperplate engraving taken from "The Roman Monarchy" by Francois Salma, published in Utrecht in 1697 by Abraham Bogaerts. Decius is shown in military regalia, signifying his background as a soldier and his commitment to the Roman army. He is dressed in a toga, adorned with military decorations, and holds a rolled scroll in one hand, possibly containing orders or a speech to be delivered to his troops. Surrounding Decius are various military personnel, including centurions, legionnaires, a vexillifer holding a vexillum (military standard), and an aquilifer carrying the aquila (the Roman eagle standard). The encampment in the background is filled with tents, further emphasizing the imperial military presence. Decius' reign was marked by religious reforms, military expansion, and efforts to strengthen the Roman Empire. His commitment to the military is evident in this portrait, which showcases his leadership and dedication to the Roman legions. The intricate details of the engraving, such as the textures of the toga and the folds of the military uniforms, highlight the skill of the 17th-century engraver, Jan Luyken. This portrait offers a fascinating glimpse into the military culture and leadership of the Roman Empire during the late antique period.
