EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from around 78 BCE, depicting the Roman god Liber. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of Ancient Rome. The coin's obverse features a close-up image of Liber, with intricate details that highlight his divine nature. Set against a grey background, the color and metal shine of the coin are beautifully captured in this studio shot. Liber was an important deity associated with wine and viticulture in Roman mythology. As such, this Denarius serves as a fascinating glimpse into the significance of viniculture in ancient Roman society. It symbolizes not only their love for wine but also its economic importance as currency during that time period. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic value and historical context behind this remarkable piece. Its panoramic letterbox format invites us to immerse ourselves in its beauty while contemplating its cultural significance. Through this image, we can connect with our ancestors who once held these coins in their hands, reminding us that art has always been intertwined with religion, finance, and daily life throughout history. This print truly captures a moment frozen in time - an exquisite blend of mythological symbolism and ancient craftsmanship preserved for generations to come.
