EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin portraying 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 masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail on this ancient artifact. The obverse side features a striking image of Augustus Caesar himself, his regal countenance exuding power and authority. The letterbox format enhances its visual impact, drawing our attention solely to this iconic figure. Set against a grey background, the coin stands out in all its glory with its rich color and texture. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it was not only used as currency but also served as a symbol of Roman imperial might. As we gaze upon this piece of heritage art, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and opulence of ancient Rome. It reminds us of the Julio-Claudian dynasty that shaped an empire and left an indelible mark on history. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures both the beauty and mystery surrounding Emperor Augustus' reign. Though created by an unknown artist centuries ago, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure.
