C. Iulius Caesar. I. Omine discincti metuendus Caesar amictus, Et mediu(m) zona non religante latus: Feralis scelere et vitiatae in nocte parentis, Maternum visus commaculasse torum. Tantorum impleuit praesagia dira malorum, Et certam somnum iussit habere fidem. Legibus hic Urbem dedit, ordinibusque solutam Iunctus et infandis cui fuit ille modis. Aegidius Sadeler S.C.M. sculp. Titianus inventor. Marcus Sadeler excud. Lettering in four elegiac couplets below the portrait

Notes

One print in a set of twelve pairs of prints of Roman emperors and empresses
