EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact - a coin portraying Emperor Tetricus II, who reigned from 271 to 274 AD. The creator of this intriguing piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and allure to the image. The coin itself is a testament to the rich history of Ancient Rome, with its intricate design and expert craftsmanship. Made from silvered bronze, it exudes an aura of regality and prestige. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail on the obverse side, where Emperor Tetricus II's likeness is beautifully captured. Set against a grey background in letterbox format, the image draws our attention solely towards this historical treasure. Its color palette adds depth and richness to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this portrait of power and authority, we are transported back in time to an era when emperors ruled over vast territories encompassing Gaul (modern-day France) and parts of Italy. This coin served as both currency and symbol of imperial might during that period. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph invites viewers to explore not only Roman history but also appreciate the artistic value inherent in ancient coins like these. Through capturing this studio shot with utmost precision, Unknown has immortalized Emperor Tetricus II for generations to come - reminding us all of our shared heritage rooted in antiquity.
