EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Flavius Arcadius Augustus, also known as Emperor Arcadius, who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 395 to 408 AD. Born in Constantinople, Arcadius succeeded his father, Theodosius I, as co-emperor in 378 AD and became sole ruler after his brother Honorius assumed the Western Roman Empire in 395 AD. The portrait, created as a copperplate engraving in the late 17th century by Abraham Bogaerts for the publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" by Francois Salma in Utrecht, Netherlands, offers a captivating glimpse into the appearance and regal bearing of this Byzantine emperor. Arcadius is shown wearing the imperial diadem, a symbol of his authority, and a cloak draped over his shoulders. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of strength and determination. Arcadius' reign was marked by political instability and military challenges, including conflicts with the Huns and Sassanian Persians. Despite these challenges, he managed to maintain the Eastern Roman Empire's territorial integrity and continued the religious policies of his father, supporting Nicene Christianity. This portrait, a valuable historical document, offers a tangible connection to the rich history of the Roman Empire and the complex political landscape of the late antique world. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricate folds of Arcadius' cloak to the delicate lines of his facial features, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the 17th-century engraver. Overall, this portrait of Emperor Arcadius offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the appearance, power, and legacy of a Roman emperor who played a significant role in shaping the history of the Eastern Roman Empire.
