EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Diocletianus, the 51st Emperor of the Roman Empire. Created in 1559 by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner, this woodcut beautifully captures the essence of ancient Rome. Diocletianus, also known as Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus Augustus, ruled from 244 to 311 AD and was a co-emperor with Maximian from 285 to 305 AD. This profile portrait highlights his imperial stature and power, depicting him in all his regal glory. The intricate details of this artwork are truly remarkable; every line and curve meticulously carved into the woodcut brings Diocletianus to life. The artist's skillful use of shading adds depth and dimension to his face, making it seem almost three-dimensional. The inclusion of coins in this illustration is symbolic of Diocletianus' authority over the Roman currency system during his reign. It serves as a reminder that he held immense control not only over the empire but also its economy. This print offers viewers a glimpse into ancient history through artistry. It transports us back in time to an era where emperors reigned supreme and their images were immortalized on coins for generations to come. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this image preserves an important piece of Swiss heritage while providing us with a window into one man's extraordinary journey through power and influence in
