Description

This engraving portrays Aulus Vitellius, who was a Roman Emperor during the Year of the Four Emperors in 69 AD. The portrait captures Vitellius in a powerful and somewhat imposing stance, dressed in a Roman cuirass with a mantle draped over his shoulder. He holds a baton in his right hand, signifying his authority and command. His facial expression is stern and determined, reflecting the tumultuous period of his reign. The background is left plain to maintain focus on the figure of Vitellius. This work is part of a series of eleven emperors of Rome, created by Aegidius Sadeler after paintings by Titian. Below the portrait, there is a Latin inscription that provides commentary on Vitellius’ character and reign.
