EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Portrait of Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax (Gaius Iulius Verus Maximinus Augustus) 2. Description: This portrait depicts Roman Emperor Maximinus Thrax, also known as Gaius Iulius Verus Maximinus Augustus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 235 to 238 AD. The image is a copperplate engraving taken from "De Roomsche Monarchy," a 17th-century publication by Francois Salma in Utrecht, Netherlands. Abraham Bogaerts, a renowned engraver, created this meticulous reproduction of the ancient Roman emperor's portrait. 3. Background: Maximinus Thrax was born around 173 AD in Mezia, a province in modern-day Romania. He rose through the ranks of the Roman military, eventually becoming a general under Emperor Caracalla. When Caracalla was assassinated, Maximinus Thrax was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers. His reign was marked by military campaigns against the Germanic tribes, as well as internal power struggles. 4. Appearance: In the portrait, Maximinus Thrax is depicted wearing the traditional Roman imperial attire, including a toga and a diadem. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of strength and determination. The artist has captured the intricacies of the emperor's facial features, from the furrowed brow to the prominent nose and strong jawline. 5. Legacy: Maximinus Thrax's reign was a tumultuous one, but his legacy endured. He was remembered as a capable military leader who expanded the Roman Empire's borders. His image appeared on coins and other tokens, further cementing his place in history. This portrait, a beautiful testament to the artistic skills of the 17th century, continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance.
