VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a detailed engraving of a classical profile portrait encircled within an ornate frame. The central figure is depicted in the traditional Roman style, showcasing meticulous curls and a strong profile that suggests nobility or significance.
At the top, the text reads "EFFIGIES TIBERII CLAVDII DRVSI FILII IMPERATORIS," which translates to "Portrait of Tiberius Claudius Drusus, son of the Emperor." This inscription identifies the subject as a member of ancient Roman imperial lineage.
The inner circle surrounding the profile bears an inscription: "TI•CLAUDIUS•CAESAR•AVG•P•M•TRIBVNITIA POTESTATE" (Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Pontifex Maximus Tribunician Power). These titles refer to various political and religious offices held by Roman emperors, including chief priest (Pontifex Maximus) and holder of tribunician power (a form of legal authority).
Below the portrait is another Latin phrase, which can be translated as: "Claudius being free from envy during his private life was often heard speaking ill by people not doing anything wrong but suffering it."
The overall design includes intricate Renaissance-style decorative elements common in engravings from this period. The artistry involved suggests that this print was likely created for educational purposes or as part of a collection illustrating historical figures.
