EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cistophoric Tetradrachm, a remarkable coin from ancient Rome dating back to around 25 BCE. The coin features an exquisite portrayal of Emperor Augustus, also known as Caesar Augustus or Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. Minted at Ephesus in modern-day Turkey, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of the Roman Empire. The front side of the coin displays a striking profile portrait of Emperor Augustus himself. With meticulous attention to detail, his regal features are captured in silver against a background that exudes power and authority. This image serves as a window into the past, allowing us to glimpse the face of one of history's most influential figures. On the reverse side, an intricately decorated altar adorned with two deer and garlands takes center stage. The craftsmanship on display here is truly awe-inspiring; every element has been meticulously rendered in stunning color and detail. As we admire this piece from antiquity, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its value as currency during that time period. Coins like these were once used for trade and commerce throughout the Roman Empire. Preserved through centuries, this Cistophoric Tetradrachm offers us an intimate connection with our ancient past—a tangible link between contemporary society and the grandeur of Rome's golden age.
