EDITORS COMMENTS
Empress Pulcheria: A Byzantine Princess and Co-Ruler (399-453) This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and regal presence of Empress Pulcheria, the sister of Emperor Theodosius II and a powerful co-ruler in the Byzantine Empire during the early fifth century. Born in 399, Pulcheria was the eldest surviving child of Emperor Arcadius and his wife Eudoxia. When her father died in 408, her younger brother Theodosius II ascended to the throne at the age of 16, with Pulcheria serving as his regent. Pulcheria's influence on the Byzantine court was significant, and she played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the empire during her brother's reign. In 414, Theodosius II married Athenais, a circus performer, which sparked a controversy that led to Pulcheria's exile. However, she returned to Constantinople in 416, and her influence over her brother continued to grow. Pulcheria was a pious and devout woman, known for her strong Christian faith. She played a key role in the Council of Ephesus in 431, which affirmed the divinity of Mary as Theotokos, or God-bearer. Her influence extended beyond religious matters, as she was also involved in diplomacy and military affairs. This portrait of Empress Pulcheria, with her serene expression and elegant attire, conveys the dignity and grace of a Byzantine empress. The intricate gold mosaic background and the delicate folds of her clothing are typical of the artistic style of the time. Pulcheria's reign as co-ruler, marked by her strong faith and political acumen, left a lasting impact on the Byzantine Empire and its history.
