EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin depicting Emperor Augustus, the influential ruler of ancient Rome from 27 BCE to 14 CE. Created by an unknown artist during the 1st century, this bronze coin is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Roman Empire. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this historical artifact. The obverse side of the coin features a striking portrait of Emperor Augustus himself, his regal visage exuding power and authority. The image is set against a grey background, emphasizing its timeless beauty. As we delve into history through art, we are transported back in time to witness the legacy left behind by great leaders like Augustus Caesar. This coin not only served as currency but also represented imperial propaganda and political symbolism during his reign. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago's Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures both the significance and aesthetic value of ancient Roman art. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to explore further into the fascinating world of antiquity.
