EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Death of Augustus, 1890" captures a significant moment in history. Created by an unknown artist and featured in the book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" by Edmund Ollier, this engraving transports us back to ancient Rome. In this poignant scene, we find ourselves inside the bedchamber of Emperor Augustus Caesar during his final moments. The room is dimly lit, creating a somber atmosphere that befits the occasion. A male figure lies on his deathbed while a female attendant stands nearby, her hand raised in benediction. Augustus' face reflects both weariness and wisdom as he prepares to depart from this world. Holding a book in one hand, symbolizing his love for literature and knowledge, he raises the other hand in a gesture of blessing or perhaps farewell. Surrounded by political power and religious significance, this portrait reminds us of Augustus' immense influence as both statesman and religious leader. As the first emperor of Rome who laid the foundation for its greatness, he shaped not only Roman history but also influenced future generations through Christianity's rise within the empire. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by Augustus Caesar – an enigmatic figure whose reign forever altered the course of ancient Rome and continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
