Wearing a cloak decorated with trefoil, this bust of the Priest King found at Mohenjo-Daro would have once been covered with a pink paste.

This engraving appears in Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World), an atlas of city maps that was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It depicts the northeastern Italian city of Palmanova, founded in 1593 and built in a “star fort” configuration that studded thick walls with multiple bastions to improve the city’s defenses.

The violent nature of Germanic tribes was a popular theme in ancient Roman art and literature. This Roman sarcophagus depicts a battle between Imperial troops and 'barbarian' warriors in the late second century A.D.
