EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic sculpture of Mithradates VI, also known as Eupator, King of Pontus. Carved from marble by a Greek artist in the 1st century BC, this remarkable bust is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The presence of a lion's head on his headdress further emphasizes his authority and bravery.

Known as "Mithridate the Great" he led numerous campaigns to resist Roman expansion into his kingdom.
