Description
The Tondo is so far the only preserved painted image of the emperor. It shows the emperor Septimus Severus (193 - 211 AD) with his wife Julia Domna and the sons Caracalla and Geta in solemn regalia; the emperor and the princes as successor to the throne with sceptres and precious stone crowns. When Caracalla assassinated his brother 212 and officially condemned his memory (damnatio memoriae), the face of the Geta was also removed on the Tondo.
