EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Roman Emperor Anthemius, also known as Procopius Anthemius Augustus, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 467 to 472 AD. Anthemius was a member of the noble Anicii family and was chosen as emperor by the military leader Ricimer, who held significant power behind the throne. The portrait, created as a copperplate engraving in the late 17th century by Abraham Bogaerts for the publication "De Roomsche Monarchy" or "The Roman Monarchy" by Francois Salma, provides a fascinating glimpse into the appearance and regal bearing of this enigmatic emperor. Anthemius succeeded Olybrius, who had a brief and controversial reign, and faced numerous challenges during his own tenure. He was ultimately deposed and executed by the military leader Glycerius, marking the end of the Anicii dynasty. The portrait shows Anthemius wearing the imperial diadem and a flowing toga, with an expression of determination and authority. The background features a classical architectural setting, further emphasizing Anthemius' connection to the rich history and traditions of ancient Rome. This image serves as a valuable historical record of a little-known emperor and the complex political landscape of the late Roman Empire.
