EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from the 3rd century, featuring a remarkable portrait of Julia Mamaea, an influential empress of the Roman Empire. Crafted by an unknown creator, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of Ancient Rome. The front side of the coin portrays Julia Mamaea herself, exuding regality and grace. Her profile captures her striking beauty with intricate details in her hairstyle and facial features. As one gazes at this image, they are transported back in time to witness the power and elegance that defined women in Roman society. On the reverse side, we encounter Juno, the goddess holding a patera (dish) and sceptre. This depiction symbolizes both wealth and authority within Roman culture. Minted in Antioch during its heyday as an economic center, this Denarius serves as a tangible reminder of Rome's vast empire spanning across countries. The silver color adds depth to this piece while emphasizing its historical significance as currency during that era. Preserved meticulously by numismatologists over centuries, it now finds its home at The Art Institute Chicago's collection on Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium. As we marvel at this rare find from Italy's heritage art scene, let us appreciate how such objects connect us to our past—unveiling stories about powerful women like Julia Mamaea who shaped history through their influence within royal circles.
