EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin from the reign of King Mithridates VI, dating back to 90-89 BCE. The coin, originating from Pontus and Bithynia in ancient Anatolia, is a testament to the rich history of Ancient Greece. In this close-up image, we see the profile of King Mithridates VI himself, depicted with remarkable detail on a grey background. The artist skillfully captures his regal features and dignified expression, emphasizing his status as a powerful monarch. The lettering on the coin indicates its value as drachma currency during that era. Made of silver, this Tetradrachm serves not only as an object of monetary exchange but also as a symbol of sovereignty and authority. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this heritage artwork transports viewers back in time to experience the grandeur and artistic achievements of Hellenistic culture. As we admire this panoramic studio shot photograph by an unknown artist, we are reminded that coins like these were once widely circulated throughout Asia Minor. They offer us glimpses into ancient economies while simultaneously preserving historical records for future generations to appreciate. This stunning piece invites us to delve into the fascinating world where finance meets artistry and where kings leave their mark through metal imprints that endure centuries later.
