EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Roman Emperor Gaius Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus, commonly known as Emperor Licinius I, reigning from 308 to 324 AD. Licinius was a significant figure during the late Roman Empire, co-ruling with Constantine the Great and later engaging in a power struggle with him. Born into a humble background, Licinius rose through the ranks of the Roman military to become a trusted general under the emperor Galerius. After Galerius' death, Licinius claimed the throne, marking the beginning of his reign. His rule was marked by military conquests, diplomatic alliances, and religious reforms. This portrait, produced as a copperplate engraving in the late 17th century by Abraham Bogaerts for the publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" by Francois Salma, offers a striking representation of Licinius' regal presence. The artist masterfully captures the emperor's serious expression, suggesting a strong and resolute leader. The intricate details of Licinius' imperial garb, adorned with the insignia of his power, further emphasize his status as a Caesar and a token of the Roman Empire's grandeur. Licinius' reign was a pivotal moment in Roman history, bridging the gap between the Crisis of the Third Century and the establishment of the Constantinian dynasty. His legacy continues to fascinate historians and scholars, making this portrait an essential addition to any collection focusing on the Roman Empire, classical art, or the history of portraiture.
