EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Roman Republic Silver Denarius. Minted between 125-100 BC, this ancient coin holds immense significance and symbolism. The obverse side features Janus, the god with two faces, representing duality and transition. With one face looking towards the past and the other towards the future, Janus embodies the essence of time itself. It is fascinating to note that our modern month of January derives its name from this deity. On the reverse side of this silver denarius, we see Roma, personifying Rome itself. Adorned in a Corinthian helmet and holding a sceptre crowned with a trophy, she exudes power and authority. Flanked by a carnyx (a Celtic war trumpet) on one side and shield on another, Roma stands as an emblematic figure representing military might. Preserved within Cornwall's esteemed Royal Cornwall Museum collection, this numismatic treasure serves as a testament to Rome's influence during its republican era. The intricate details minted onto this metal coin speak volumes about Roman culture and their mastery in craftsmanship. Thanks to MIke Searle's skillful photography capturing every nuance of this historical artifact, viewers can now appreciate its beauty up close without being physically present at the museum itself. This photograph allows us to delve into ancient times while reminding us how far humanity has come since then.
