Visual Elements and Representation

The horse-and-rider motif reflects the classical-Roman tradition, embodying authority, control, and leadership. The equestrian statue represents a shift in how leadership was visually represented, becoming an explicit historic and political portrait in public space. The image symbolizes dynastic legitimacy.
