Quintillus (212-270) was born at Sirmium to a low-born family, only coming to any prominence when his brother Claudius II Gothicus became emperor in 268. When Claudius II died two years later in 270, Quintillus was declared his successor, either by the Roman Senate or by his brother's soldiers. The exact dates and length of Quintillus' reign are contradictory, lasting anything from 17 to 177 days. Similarly, the cause of his death is unknown, with some sources stating that he was murdered by his own soldiers for his strict military discipline, while others report him being killed in battle against rival claimant Aurelian. Still some sources claim that he committed suicide. What few records remain of him claim Quintillus to be a moderate and capable ruler, a champion of the Senate and spiritual successor to previous Emperors Galba and Pertinax.

Galerius (260-311) was born in Serdica and was initially a herdsman like his father, before going on to join the Roman army, where he served with distinction under Emperors Aurelian and Probus. When the Tetrarchy was established in 293, he was named as one of the junior co-emperors alongside Constantius, marrying Emperor Diocletian's daughter Valeria. Galerius fought alongside his father-in-law against the resurgent Sassanid Empire, eventually leading to his sacking of the capital Ctesiphon and his capture of the wife and children of the Sassanid king Narseh, with which he was able to negotiate a long-lasting and favourable peace treaty. When Diocletian and Maximian abdicated in 305, Galerius and Constantius became joint emperors, with Galerius conspiring to secure a stronger power base than his co-ruler. His hopes and plans came to naught when Constantius died a year later and his son, Constantine I, ascended to become emperor of the western half of the empire. Galerius had been a sta

Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Bust of Livy 1582 Giovanni Ambrogio Brambilla Italian This print comes from the museums copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of prints. Instead

Otto IV (1175-1218) was the third son of the rebellious Duke Henry the Lion, as well as being the nephew and foster son of King Richard Lionheart of England. He was born and raised in England by Richard, and therefore many consider him the first foreign king of Germany.
