EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 21-20 BCE, portraying the esteemed Emperor Augustus. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its historical significance. Minted in either Samos or possibly Pergamum, this ancient Roman currency features a striking profile portrait of Emperor Augustus on one side. The intricate details captured on this silver coin are truly awe-inspiring. Augustus' regal countenance exudes power and authority, reflecting his prominent role as the first emperor of the Roman Empire. As we delve into the depths of history through this artwork, it becomes evident that coins were not merely objects used for commerce but also served as powerful symbols of political propaganda. On the reverse side of the coin, a majestic bull is depicted, further emphasizing Rome's strength and dominance during that era. This denarius serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and financial prowess within ancient Rome. Preserved over centuries with remarkable clarity and coloration, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the past - an opportunity to connect with our ancestors who once held these very coins in their hands. Displayed proudly in an art gallery such as The Art Institute Chicago's Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout time.
