EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Roman coins of Julius Caesar, dating back to the 1st century BC. The denarii, or silver coins, bear intricate designs that reflect the rich history and mythology of ancient Rome. On the left side of the coin, we witness an allegory depicting the triumph of good over evil as a powerful elephant obliterates a menacing snake. This symbolic representation highlights the eternal struggle between virtue and vice in Roman civilization. On the right side of these historic artifacts, we are transported to another legendary tale from Greek mythology - Aeneas' flight from Troy. This scene captures a pivotal moment in which Aeneas escapes his war-torn city with his family and followers, embarking on a journey that would eventually lead him to found Rome itself. The meticulous craftsmanship displayed on these coins is truly awe-inspiring. Every lettering and capital letter is meticulously engraved, showcasing both artistic skill and attention to detail. Against a black background, this studio shot allows us to appreciate every minute element with utmost clarity. As we gaze upon this image captured by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we cannot help but marvel at how such small objects can encapsulate so much history and significance. These Roman denarii serve as tangible reminders of Julius Caesar's reign as emperor and offer us glimpses into an era long gone yet forever immortalized through numismatic artistry.
