EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two ancient Roman coins, each bearing significant historical legends. On the left, we see a bronze coin with the inscription "Scipione er Montano II vir CCA" representing the esteemed figure of Scipio and his role as a leader. Meanwhile, on the right side of the image, another bronze coin displays an intriguing front design featuring the words "C. Caesar Aug. Germanicus imp". This particular coin was issued by Caligula, who held power during the 1st century AD. The coins originate from Ceca Augusta (Zaragoza), Spain and are currently housed in the History Museum of Sabadell in Catalonia's Vallés Occidental region. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured in this photograph bring these ancient currencies to life, allowing us to appreciate their historical significance. As we delve into Roman history through these artifacts, it is fascinating to ponder how they were once used as mediums for trade and commerce within an empire that spanned vast territories. These coins serve as tangible links to a time long past when emperors like Augustus and Germanicus shaped Rome's destiny. Thanks to Santiago Ortega's skillful photography, we can now admire these remarkable pieces of Roman artistry while contemplating their place within our shared human heritage.
