EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin dating back to 95-94 BCE, depicting the enchanting figure of Tyche. Created by an unknown artist during the 1st century BC in Arados, this ancient Greek artifact is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection. The image presents a close-up view of this remarkable silver coin against a grey background, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details. The letterbox format enhances our focus on Tyche's head, beautifully rendered with delicate features and flowing hair. As the goddess of chance and fortune in Greek mythology, her presence on this currency symbolizes prosperity and luck. Through this piece, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where coins like these served as both objects of value and expressions of religious devotion. This Phoenician-influenced tetradrachma was once used as currency in various regions across the country. The photograph captures not only the historical significance but also highlights the artistic excellence behind its creation. The use of color adds vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic composition while emphasizing Tyche's divine essence. As we admire this stunning relic from centuries past, it reminds us that art transcends time and place—connecting us to our shared human heritage.
