EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print captures a remarkable coin portraying Empress Helena, dating back to the 4th century. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient Roman artifact is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection. The bronze coin showcases a stunning image of Empress Helena herself, known as Flavia Julia Helena Augusta. In this portrait, we see her regal head against a grey background. Her features are delicately rendered with intricate details that highlight her status and power as a female ruler during the Constantinian era. As the mother of Constantine I, she played a significant role in shaping both religious and political history. Empress Helena's influence extended beyond royalty; she was also recognized as Saint Helena due to her devout Christian faith. This connection to religion adds another layer of significance to this ancient artifact. The letterbox format emphasizes every aspect of this extraordinary piece – from its coloration to its metal composition – allowing viewers to appreciate it in all its glory. Through this photo print, we can delve into the rich heritage artistry that defines ancient Rome and explore how women like Empress Helena left an indelible mark on history through their leadership and devotion.
