It is said that Tiberias Caesar was very curious about the itinerant Preacher who dwelt in the far reaches of his empire so he commissioned an artist who had seen HIM to carve HIS likeness on an emerald. This is a picture of the photo that was made from that emerald. It can be found in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
