text:
The Prophecy of Basilides is a 1645-1646 painting by Pietro Testa, who also conceived it as an engraving but did not live long enough to produce the latter. The work was transposed onto copper, perhaps shortly after Testa's death, by his nephew Giovanni Cesare Testa.

It draws on accounts in Suetonius's Life of Vespasian, Tacitus' Histories and other ancient Latin histor
