Abstract

Between ca. 1450 and 1550, justice was a common theme in Flemish tapestry, usually in the form of allegorical scenes illustrated with examples from the Bible and world history. Furthermore, in moral or Biblical scenes, courts of justice were often depicted as well. There is one noticeable exemplum justitiae of the Roman Emperor Trajan which, up until now, has not been studied extensively. In this paper, an interpretation of this piece is offered by connecting it with the book Ludus Scaccorum.
