EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 28 BCE, featuring a striking portrait of Octavian, the renowned Roman emperor. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. On the reverse side of the coin, we find an intricately detailed depiction of an Egyptian Nile crocodile, symbolizing Octavian's triumphant victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra in 31 BCE. Minted either in Pergamum or Ephesus during the first century BC, this ancient artifact represents not only a form of currency but also serves as a testament to the artistic brilliance prevalent during that era. Its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship make it truly stand out among other coins from that time. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this rare treasure offers viewers a glimpse into Rome's rich heritage. As we gaze upon Octavian's profile on one side and marvel at the majestic reptile on the other, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. The Denarius coin serves as a tangible link connecting us with Emperor Augustus Caesar himself - his power, influence, and legacy preserved within its silver surface. This extraordinary piece invites us to explore numismatics and delve deeper into ancient Roman culture while reminding us of humanity's timeless fascination with artistry and wealth throughout history.
