This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Liszt Collection - the Profile Head of Antoninus Pius of Nicopolis (Nikopolis) ad Istrum. Dating back to the 2nd century, this bronze piece hails from Moesia Inferior, near modern Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria. The profile head depicts Antoninus Pius, a Roman emperor who reigned from 138 to 161 AD. The intricate details captured in this small yet powerful image are truly awe-inspiring. From his regal features to the fine lines etched on his face, every aspect is meticulously crafted. On the obverse side of this ancient treasure lies an equally fascinating depiction - Apollo Sauroktonos. This mythical figure is portrayed with great finesse and elegance, adding another layer of intrigue to this already mesmerizing artwork. With a diameter measuring just 2.5 cm (1 inch), it's astonishing how such intricate artistry could be achieved on such a small scale. This print allows us to appreciate and marvel at the craftsmanship that existed centuries ago. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are transported back in time to witness history come alive through art. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout different eras and cultures.
