Plate 12: Domitian in profile to the right, from "The Twelve Caesars" 1610 - 1640

This engraving, created sometime between 1610 and 1640, depicts the Roman emperor Domitian in profile. The anonymous artist utilizes a classical style, focusing on realistic detail and rendering Domitian in a powerful pose, adorned in a helmet with a laurel wreath and a decorative breastplate. This work is part of a series titled "The Twelve Caesars", which likely served as a historical record and a testament to the power and glory of the Roman emperors. The engraving's composition and meticulous detail make it a valuable example of the art of printmaking during this period.
