This anonymous engraving from 1712 depicts a portrait of Leo III, the Byzantine Emperor, surrounded by a circular table listing the names and reign dates of other Eastern Roman Emperors. The circular format and the inclusion of historical figures suggest a focus on genealogy and the continuity of the empire, making this artwork a valuable visual resource for studying Byzantine history. The inscription above Leo III's portrait reads "D.N. LEO. P.F. AUG." which stands for "Dominus Noster Leo, Pius Felix Augustus," which was a common title used for Byzantine emperors.
