Hannibalianus lived most of his life without a name, only to be raised with the singular appellation of Nobilissimus and distinguished by the title of King. His residence at Caesarea and rule over Pontus, Cappadocia, and Lesser Armenia marked the height of his elevation. His marriage to Constantina and subsequent murder in the imperial massacre ended a life that began in obscurity and ended in tragedy.
Description
An adult male whose purple and gold robe signifies his royal rank, though his features suggest someone who lived most of his life in relative obscurity. His bearing reflects both the dignity of his position and the weight of his imperial connections.
