Mikkel Røg (c. 1679 – c. 1737), also referred to by his Latinized name Michael Augustus Roeg, was a Danish-Norwegian medal engraver.
[citation needed] Røg created the copperplate engravings with the text for the 1709 edition of Lex Regia (Kongeloven) as well as three Danish medals commemorating the birth of Frederick IV (1706), the death of Prince Georg (1708) and the surrender of Magnus Stenbock (1713).
[1] With little prospect of employment in Copenhagen, Røg accepted an invitation from Louis XIV and moved to Paris in 1715.
Louis XIV's death in September that same year delayed his employment but in 1720 a recommendation from court painter Antoine Coypel finally led to his appointment as graveur des médailles de Sa Majesté.
Røg lent Holberg his royal travel passport, enabling him to visit Italy cheaper and more easily.
