Cameo with Bust of a Hohenstaufen Emperor |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Engraved gems were one of the tools through which Frederick promoted his artistic agenda and he appears as the subject of this cameo crafted at his court. The motif of the bust of an emperor in military dress, crowned with laurels, is taken from Antique Roman sources. Frederick appeared in similar fashion in the augustalis, a coin struck in Sicily during his reign. |
