This anonymous engraving from 1712 depicts the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius in profile, crowned and looking to the right. The image is framed by two concentric circles. The inner circle contains a chart with numbers and names of Roman emperors. The outer circle repeats the names of emperors but also includes symbolic figures like crowns and skulls. The artwork, likely intended for educational purposes, provides a visual timeline of Roman emperors and may have been used for historical study or reference.
