EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient world - the Stater of Poseidonia, dating back to the 5th century BC. This Greek city in southern Italy left behind an enduring testament to their religious beliefs and financial prowess through this exquisite coinage. The image depicts Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea, standing tall with his iconic trident held firmly in hand. The vibrant colors bring to life every intricate detail of this ancient currency, emphasizing its significance as both a medium of exchange and a symbol of divine power. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently and warfare was an ever-present reality. The presence of weaponry hints at the turbulent nature of that period, where conflicts often determined the fate of nations. This particular stater holds immense historical value not only for its artistic merit but also for what it represents - a fusion between Greek culture and Italian soil. It serves as a tangible link between two civilizations that shaped our modern world. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this extraordinary relic from centuries past. Let us cherish these glimpses into history that remind us how far humanity has come while honoring those who came before us.
