Portret van keizer Titus 1746

This engraving by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips depicts the Roman emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 AD. Created in 1746, the artwork features a profile portrait of Titus, wearing a laurel wreath, encircled by a decorative frame. The background is a patterned motif, with two small medallions in the top corners depicting figures representing peace and victory. The inscription below the portrait identifies Titus by his full name and title, "Titus Flavius Vespasianus Aug." This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the historical fascination with Roman emperors during the 18th century.
