1. Title: Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I (Anastasios II or Anastasius II, 491-719 AD): A Regal Portrait from the 17th Century This copperplate engraving presents a regal and imposing portrait of the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I, also known as Anastasios II or Anastasius II. The image dates back to the 17th century, as part of the comprehensive work "De Roomsche Monarchy" or "The Roman Monarchy," authored by Francois Salma and published in Utrecht. Anastasius I, born in Dara in 491 AD, ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 518 to 518 AD. His reign was marked by significant military victories against the Sassanian Empire, as well as internal political struggles. The emperor's image is depicted here with the traditional imperial attire and attributes, including a crown, a cloak, and a pallium, symbolizing his divine right to rule. The engraving is the work of Abraham Bogaert, a renowned engraver from the Dutch Republic. Bogaert's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of Anastasius's facial features, clothing, and the ornate background. The emperor's expression conveys a sense of wisdom, authority, and resilience, reflecting the challenges he faced during his reign. The image of Anastasius I is an essential piece of Byzantine and classical art, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and power of the Eastern Roman Empire during the late antique period. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Caesars and Kaisers, whose rule shaped the course of European history.
