EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait of Roman Emperor Trajan, originally engraved in the 17th century by Abraham Bogaerts for the publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" by Francois Salma in Utrecht, Netherlands, offers a captivating glimpse into the history and grandeur of ancient Rome. Trajan, born as Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus, reigned as Roman Emperor from 53 AD to 117 AD. He was adopted as heir by the previous emperor, Nerva, and later assumed the title of Augustus. Trajan is renowned for his military conquests, which expanded the Roman Empire to its greatest extent. He is also remembered for his extensive public works projects, including the construction of roads, aqueducts, and the Trajan's Market in Rome. The portrait depicts Trajan in the traditional Roman imperial attire, wearing a toga and a laurel wreath on his head, symbolizing his military victories. The inscription on the portrait reads "Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus," translating to "Emperor Caesar Nerva Traianus, son of the deified Nerva, Augustus." The portrait was created using the copperplate engraving technique, a popular method during the 17th century for producing detailed and accurate reproductions of historical artworks. Trajan's successor, Hadrian, is also depicted in the same publication, further emphasizing the continuity and stability of Roman leadership during this period. The portrait of Trajan serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of the Roman Empire, and continues to captivate the imagination of scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
