EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Portrait of Byzantine Emperor Heraklonas (Heraclius), 626-641 AD This portrait depicts Byzantine Emperor Heraklonas, also known as Heraclius, Constantine III, Flavius Constantinus Heraclius, or Herakleonas. He reigned as the Eastern Roman Emperor from 610 to 641 AD. The image is a copperplate engraving taken from "De Roomsche Monarchy," a 17th-century work by Francois Salma, published in Utrecht. Heraklonas is portrayed with a full beard, emphasizing his maturity and wisdom. His regal attire, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, signifies his high status as a monarch. The emperor's imperial diadem and the orb and scepter in his hands further underscore his authority. Heraklonas is best known for his military campaigns against the Persian Sassanid Empire, which significantly impacted the course of Byzantine history. He was also married to Fausta, the daughter of Phocas, his predecessor. Their union was a crucial factor in securing the imperial throne for Heraklonas. This portrait is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Byzantine Empire during the early medieval period. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the skill and craftsmanship of the 17th-century engraver, Abraham Bogaerts, who meticulously captured the essence of the Byzantine emperor's likeness and regal presence. The image offers a glimpse into the classical world of the Caesars and Kaisers, showcasing the rich history and artistic traditions that have shaped the course of European civilization. The portrait is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the life and reign of one of the most influential figures in Byzantine history.
