EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sestertius coin from the 3rd century, portraying Emperor Severus Alexander. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. With a grey background that accentuates its intricate details, the close-up shot allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of ancient Roman currency. Emperor Severus Alexander's visage is beautifully captured on this bronze coin, reflecting his regal stature and authority. As we gaze upon his noble profile, it transports us back in time to an era when Rome was at the height of its power and influence. The Sestertius itself serves as a tangible link to our past, representing not only a form of currency but also a symbol of wealth and prosperity during the Roman Empire. Its color palette adds vibrancy to this historical artifact, reminding us that even after centuries have passed, its significance endures. Displayed in an art gallery or museum setting such as the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph invites viewers to explore their fascination with ancient civilizations. It sparks curiosity about life in ancient Rome while highlighting the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. As we admire this studio-shot image captured by an Italian artist or photographer whose identity eludes us still today, let us marvel at how something as small as a coin can hold so much history within its metal surface.
