EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration belongs to the manuscript "From the Creation of the World to the Conquest of the Holy Land," created in Italy, Piedmont, around the year 1200 during the Gothic art period. The painting depicts Antiochus III, the Seleucid king of Syria, and one of his counselors intently examining reports of the ongoing war against the Romans during the Roman Syrian War of 192-188 BC. The vertical, upright composition of the image emphasizes the seriousness and importance of the moment. Antiochus III, dressed in royal attire, sits on a throne with a scepter in hand, while his counselor, dressed in a long robe and holding a scroll, presents the reports to him. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the visual appeal of the painting. The war between Antiochus III and the Romans was a significant event during the Western medieval period and the Middle Ages, marking a turning point in the history of the ancient world. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and historical context of the time, providing valuable insights into the lives of the people and the events that shaped the world around them.
