EDITORS COMMENTS
Emperor Septimius Severus: A Powerful Ruler of the Ancient Roman Empire This bust portrays Septimius Severus, who reigned as Roman Emperor from 193 to 211 AD. Born in Leptis Magna, a prosperous city in the province of Africa, Septimius Severus hailed from the Severan Dynasty. His reign marked a significant period in the history of the Roman Empire, as he extended its borders to include parts of Europe and the Middle East. Septimius Severus was a charismatic and powerful leader, known for his military prowess and administrative reforms. He was the first Roman Emperor of African origin, and his rule brought about a renewed sense of pride in the Roman Empire's diverse heritage. This ancient artifact, now housed in the Glyptothek Museum in Munich, Germany, offers a glimpse into the character and persona of this remarkable historical figure. The intricately carved details of the bust reveal the aging emperor, with his furrowed brow and piercing gaze, conveying a sense of determination and strength. The bust also showcases the emperor's military attire, complete with a diadem and a cloak, further emphasizing his role as a powerful ruler. Septimius Severus' reign was marked by numerous achievements, including the establishment of a new dynasty, the Severan, which lasted for over 50 years. His rule also saw the construction of several impressive architectural projects, such as the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome. This bust serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Emperor Septimius Severus and the rich history of the ancient Roman civilization.
