EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin from 37-33 BCE, featuring the iconic Queen Cleopatra VII and issued by Mark Antony. The remarkable aspect of this coin lies in its portrayal of both rulers on opposite sides, indicating their powerful partnership during their reign. Minted in the Eastern Mediterranean, possibly Antioch, Syria, this ancient Roman artifact holds immense historical significance. The profile of Cleopatra VII is an exact replica of Mark Antony's visage, symbolizing their shared authority and influence over Egypt. The intricate details on the coin highlight Cleopatra's regal beauty with her mesmerizing hairstyle and elegant features. As one gazes upon this image, it transports us back to a time when these two legendary figures shaped the destiny of nations. Crafted from silver, this Tetradrachm serves as a tangible representation of wealth and currency during that era. Its existence speaks volumes about the economic prowess and political stability under Cleopatra's rule. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures not only an object but also our fascination with history itself. It invites contemplation about the lives led by those who held power centuries ago – men like Mark Antony and women like Queen Cleopatra VII – whose legacies continue to captivate our imagination today.
