EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the regal figure of Philip V of Macedon, a prominent historical figure who reigned from BC 220 to 179. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, is part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual appeal. Philip V's commanding presence is beautifully captured in this print, highlighting his significance as one of the most influential rulers during ancient times. The illustration originally appeared in "Illustrations of School Classics" a publication arranged and described by G F Hill in 1903. The image focuses on Philip V's profile, allowing us to appreciate his strong features and noble bearing. It also draws attention to a remarkable detail - a silver tetradrachm coin that symbolizes his reign. This inclusion adds depth to our understanding of Philip V's historical context and emphasizes the importance placed on currency during that era. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and power associated with classical civilizations. Through this artwork, we gain insight into both the individual ruler himself and the broader world he inhabited. Displayed within the British Museum's collection alongside other significant artifacts from history, this piece serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into ancient realms beyond what meets the eye.
