EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we behold the visage of Emperor Numerian, ruler of the Roman Empire from 283 to 284 AD. The image, a copperplate engraving from the 17th century publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" by Abraham Bogaerts, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the ancient world of Rome. Numerian, born as Marcus Aurelius Numerius Numerianus, was the younger brother of Carinus, with whom he shared the throne. The brothers' reign, marked by political instability and power struggles, was brief but significant in the history of the Roman Empire. Numerian's portrait exudes an air of regal dignity. He is depicted wearing the traditional Roman imperial attire, including a toga and a diadem adorned with the iconic laurel wreath. The emperor's gaze is steady and resolute, reflecting the strength and determination required to rule during tumultuous times. The portrait also bears the likenesses of other notable Roman emperors, including Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus Augustus, better known as Diocletian, who succeeded Numerian and Carinus. Diocles, as Diocletian was also known, is famed for his military reforms and the establishment of the Tetrarchy, a system of shared rule that marked the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the beginning of the late Roman Empire. This enchanting portrait, a testament to the artistic prowess of the 17th century, offers a unique window into the history of the Roman Empire and the lives of its emperors. The intricate details of the copperplate engraving capture the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the rich tapestry of Roman history.
