EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Byzantine history - the Solidus of Leo VI the Wise. Minted in the 9th century, this ancient gold coin measures just 1.9 cm in diameter, yet it carries immense historical significance. The portrait featured on this solidus depicts none other than Leon VI himself, also known as "the Sage" or "the Philosopher". As one of the most influential rulers of the Byzantine Empire, his reign from 886 to 912 was marked by intellectual pursuits and political reforms. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this small but precious artifact are truly awe-inspiring. The use of vibrant colors adds an element of life to this golden masterpiece, emphasizing its regal nature. Housed within the prestigious Benaki Museum in Athens, Greece, this solidus offers us a glimpse into a bygone era - the Middle Ages. It serves as a tangible reminder of an empire that once spanned vast territories and left an indelible mark on world history. As we gaze upon this exquisite object, we can't help but marvel at its beauty and ponder about all the hands it has passed through over centuries. This photograph captures not only a physical representation of wealth but also symbolizes power and authority during an era long past.
