EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 9: Emperor Vitellius on Horseback, from The First Twelve Roman Caesars after Tempesta, a remarkable piece of art created by Antonio Tempesta in the 17th century. The image depicts Aulus Vitellius Germanicus, also known as Emperor Vitellius, mounted on a majestic horse during ancient Roman times. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly awe-inspiring. From the intricate armor adorning both the emperor and his loyal steed to the fierce determination etched onto their faces, every element exudes power and strength. It transports us back to an era of grandeur and warfare. Matthaus Merian's masterful execution of this artwork further enhances its allure.

As we gaze upon this portrait, we cannot help but marvel at the skill of these talented artists who have immortalized Emperor Vitellius for generations to come. This photograph serves as a testament to their artistic prowess and pays homage to one of Rome's most influential leaders.
