  • Icones Imperatorum Romanorum ('Images of the Emperors of the Romans'), originally published under the title Vivae omnium fere imperatorum imagines, is a 1557 originally Latin-language numismatic and historical work by the Dutch painter and engraver Hubert Goltzius. It was the first major work on the coins of the Roman emperors, featuring detailed portraits of each emperor from Julius Caesar to the then incumbent Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I based on their coins. The set of images, drawn by Goltzius himself and made into wood blocks (for use in the printing process) by , is also accompanied by short biographies on each figure. After its publication, the book proved immensely popular and was translated into multiple languages. An expanded version was printed in 1645, decades after Goltzius's death, which added further portraits and entries, expanding the coverage to up until the then incumbent emperor, Ferdinand III. The new images for this edition were made by Christoffel Jegher and Cornelis Galle the Elder, and the new text written by Gaspar Gevartius. The 1645 edition, generally considered the finest version of the book, was reprinted in 1678 and 1708. As critical examinations in the 18th century revealed that many of the portraits were based on coins of dubious authenticity, the work fell out of favor as an academical and collector's reference work. Icones Imperatorum Romanorum remains recognized as an important work in the history of numismatics and book illustrations. (en)
