EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive bust of Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who ruled from 306 to 337 AD. Born as Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, he was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity and played a significant role in shaping the Roman Empire and the early Christian civilization. Constantine's reign marked the beginning of the Constantinian dynasty and the shift towards a more tolerant and inclusive religious policy. In 313 AD, he issued the Edict of Milan, which granted religious freedom to all citizens of the empire, allowing Christianity to flourish alongside other religions. The bust on display is a testament to the grandeur of Constantine's reign and his enduring legacy. It is part of the vast collection of ancient art housed in the Capitoline Museums in Rome, Italy. The museum, which dates back to ancient Roman times, is a treasure trove of art and historical artifacts from the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. Constantine's bust, a colossal statue of which once stood in Constantinople, the new capital city he founded in 330 AD, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Roman Empire and the enduring influence of its leaders. The intricate details of the bust, from the serene expression on Constantine's face to the intricate folds of his clothing, are a testament to the skill of the ancient Roman sculptors. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD and inviting us to explore the fascinating history of the Roman Empire and its most notable emperor, Constantine the Great.
