Studien zur Geschichtsforschung des Altertums, Band 45 442 pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- REZENSION in: GNOMON, 96 (2024) 3: "[.] this book provides a carefully composed overview of the numerous coins and monuments of the reign of Severus Alexander. Combining detailed descriptions of the sources with a rich bibliography, this study is a true goldmine for any future scholar dealing with the last of the Severans. And even if S. could have given greater attention to integrating his sources in the long line of Roman imperial representation, its students will doubtlessly find use for it, too." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ - Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Herrscherbild von Severus Alexander sowie seiner kaiserlichen Repräsentation. Quellentechnisch liegt der Fokus auf den erhalten gebliebenen Denkmälern und Inschriften für diesen Kaiser sowie der numismatischen Ãberlieferung. Severus Alexander grenzte sich in verschiedener Hinsicht gezielt von seinem Vorgänger Elagabal ab. Zugleich orientierte er sich an Vorbildern aus der Regierungszeit des Septimius Severus und Caracalla oder griff sogar noch weiter zurückliegende Traditionslinien wieder auf. Besonders deutlich zeigt sich dieser Trend in seiner sakralen Repräsentation und deren Rezeption auf lokaler Ebene: Wie inszenierte der Kaiser sein Verhältnis zu bestimmten Gottheiten? Zu welchen Gottheiten propagierte er eine Nah- oder sogar Patronagebeziehung? Mit welchen Gottheiten wollte er sich selbst identifiziert wissen? Zur Klärung dieser Fragen lohnt eine nähere Untersuchung der Einbeziehung von Jupiter, Mars, Romulus und Sol in die sakrale Repräsentation des Severus Alexander. Auch müssen weitere Aspekte der sakralen Repräsentation, wie etwa die Implementierung kaiserlicher Tugenden (Pietas, Aequitas, Providentia etc.) und wünschenswerter Zustände (Felicitas, Pax, Salus etc.) in das Herrscherbild des Severus Alexander, beleuchtet werden. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt einerseits auf der Distanzierung von der sakralen Repräsentation des Elagabal, andererseits auf der gezielten Orientierung an Bildmotiven des Septimius Severus und seiner Sà hne sowie der Wiederverwendung noch viel älterer Motive - gerade dadurch wird der konventionelle Charakter der sakralen Repräsentation des Severus Alexander deutlich. Der kaiserliche Tugendkanon findet zudem in Kaiserdarstellungen in der Reichsprägung Anklang: Auch auf diesem Gebiet lässt sich die Bevorzugung einer dezidiert konservativen Ikonographie konstatieren. Ganz gezielt werden Konzepte und Bildmotive aus dem ikonographischen Arsenal der Reichsprägung des Septimius Severus und seiner Sà hne übernommen und bestimmte Aspekte von Elagabals Selbstdarstellung abgelehnt.

This original print originates from an edition of Hubert Goltzius' 'Icones Imperatorum Romanorum' (this edition published in Antwerp by Balthasar Moretus ca. 1645). The first edition of this work was published between 1557 and 1560 in Antwerp by J. Coppens van Diest. Given the appearance of eg. Rudolph II in this edition, some portraits were added after Goltzius' time in later editions.Artists and Engravers: Hubert Goltzius is often credited with etching the portraits. Christoffel Jegher made the woodcuts. Christoffel Jegher (1596-1652/3) was a wood engraver born at Antwerp. He worked for Rubens from 1627, and is probably a pupil of Christoffel van Sichem. Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583) was a Dutch humanist author, antiquarian and numismatist. He was born in Venlo, and studied under Lambert Lombard in Liege and later in Antwerp. He settled in Bruges in 1558, and starts publishing several works on ancient numismatics.Condition: Fair, given age.
