EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a gold stater from the 4th century BC, featuring the head of Athena and belonging to none other than Alexander the Great. The profile of this ancient female deity is beautifully depicted on this currency, reflecting both religious and financial significance. Athena, known as the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology, wears her iconic helmet with grace and strength. Her divine presence emanates through every intricate detail captured on this coinage. The golden hue adds a touch of opulence to this historical artifact, symbolizing power and wealth during Alexander's reign. As we delve into history through this image by CM Dixon, we are transported back to an era where kings ruled mighty empires.
