EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we see a powerful and regal portrait of Theudis, the King of the Visigoths in Hispania and Septimania during the 6th century. Theudis ruled from 531 to 548 AD, making him one of the most prominent monarchs of the Visigothic monarchy in the Iberian Peninsula and southern Gaul (Septimania). Theudis is depicted in the high middle age, with a well-groomed beard and a crown adorning his head. His profile is turned slightly to the side, giving the viewer a clear look at his strong facial features and piercing gaze. The engraving, created in the 19th century, captures the historical significance of Theudis as a monarch who played a crucial role in the political landscape of Europe during the medieval ages. Theudis was a prominent figure in the history of Arianism, a religious movement that rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and held that Christ was the created son of God. Theudis was an Arian himself, and his reign saw the consolidation of Arianism as the dominant religion in the Visigothic kingdom. However, his rule was also marked by internal conflicts and external threats, including the Byzantine Empire and the Franks. Despite these challenges, Theudis managed to maintain his power and expand the territories of the Visigothic kingdom. His reign is remembered as a period of relative stability and cultural flourishing, with the Visigoths making significant contributions to the arts, literature, and architecture of the time. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the medieval ages and allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of Theudis as a monarch and a figure in European history.
