EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving depicts Byzantine Emperor Philippikos, also known as Philippicus, Bardanes, or Anastasios II, who reigned from 711 to 713 AD. The image is taken from the 17th-century work "De Roomsche Monarchy" or "The Roman Monarchy," published in Utrecht by Abraham Bogaerts. Emperor Philippikos is shown in regal attire, wearing a crown adorned with precious gems and a long, flowing robe. He is depicted holding a scepter in his right hand and a globe in his left, symbolizing his power and authority over the Eastern Roman Empire. The background features the ancient city of Rome, emphasizing the continuity between the Byzantine and Roman empires. Philippikos was a pivotal figure in Byzantine history, as he was the last emperor of the Heraclian dynasty. He came to power after a long period of political instability and civil war, and his reign was marked by military successes against the Arabs and internal reforms. The engraving is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Byzantine Empire during this period. The intricate details and fine lines of the copperplate technique highlight the emperor's facial features, the rich textures of his clothing, and the intricate design of his crown and scepter. The overall effect is a powerful and evocative image that transports us back to the classical world of the Byzantine Empire.
