EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sestertius coin from the 1st century AD, portraying the esteemed Emperor Augustus. Crafted by an unknown creator, this ancient Roman artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of that era. The coin's bronze color and intricate details are beautifully captured in this close-up shot. Emperor Augustus, also known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus or Octavian, was a prominent figure in Roman history. His reign marked the beginning of the Roman Empire and he played a vital role in transforming Rome into a powerful civilization. This image captures his royal stature and regal presence. The coin features an impressive depiction of Emperor Augustus riding on a chariot pulled by an elephant, symbolizing his authority and dominance over both land and animals. The letter "C" can be seen on one side of the coin, representing its value as currency during that time. Displayed against a grey background in letterbox format, this studio shot highlights every intricate detail with precision. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations and their contributions to art, culture, and finance. Located at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this print allows viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such artifacts. It offers us glimpses into our past while reminding us of our shared heritage across countries and centuries.
