EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a silver coin with the effigy of Eumene II, the king of Pergamo who reigned until his death in 159 BC. Created by an unknown Greek artist during the 2nd century BC, this remarkable piece now resides in a private collection. The intricately detailed image on the coin depicts Eumene II's profile, capturing his regal presence and noble features. The circular shape and metallic composition add to its allure as a historical artifact from ancient times. Eumene II was an influential figure in Turkish history, ruling over the kingdom of Pergamo which is located in present-day Turkey. This coin serves as a testament to his power and authority during that era. As we admire this stunning work of art, we are transported back to a time when coins were not just symbols of wealth but also reflections of culture and civilization. It reminds us of the importance placed on portraiture as a means to immortalize leaders and commemorate their reigns. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this small piece of metal. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and ancient civilizations that have shaped our understanding of art, politics, and human progress throughout time.
