One of 71 woodcut illustrations by Tobias Stimmer from Matthias Holtzwart's Emblematum Tyrocinia, an emblem book printed by Bernhard Jobin in Strasbourg in 1581. For an analysis, see Michael Lailach, "'Der Gelehrten Symbola': Studien zu den Emblematum Tyrocinia von Mathias Holtzwart (Strassburg 1581)," Diss., Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, 2000. Depicted here is Cicero as a symbolic rather than historical figure, holding a sword and bridle in one hand and an open book in the other, representing authority and wisdom.
