Description

This engraving by Aegidius Sadeler depicts Marcia Furnilla, the second wife of the Roman Emperor Titus (r. 79–81 CE). Shown in a three-quarter profile, she is adorned with an intricately patterned mantle and elegant jewelry, signifying her status within the Flavian dynasty. The background features architectural elements, alluding to the grandeur of ancient Rome.

The Latin inscription beneath the portrait provides verses reflecting her role and relationship with Emperor Titus. Although their marriage was dissolved after her family became involved in a conspiracy against Emperor Nero, Marcia remains a significant historical figure, emblematic of the political alliances and upheavals of the early Roman Empire.

Created between 1586 and 1629, this engraving highlights the Sadeler family's focus on historical and classical themes, blending artistry with historical narrative to appeal to Renaissance humanist patrons. The finely detailed depiction of Marcia’s attire and posture conveys both her dignity and the turbulence of her era.
