EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from ancient Rome, specifically portraying the enigmatic figure of Julia Soaemias. Minted between 218 and 222 AD in Antioch (modern-day Turkey), this bronze coin is a testament to the rich history and artistry of the Roman Empire. The obverse side of the coin features a striking profile portrait of Julia Soaemias, an influential woman whose exact role in society remains somewhat mysterious. Her image exudes power and elegance, capturing her status as a prominent female figure during that era. On the reverse side, we see the goddess Venus holding an apple, symbolizing beauty and desire. This depiction adds an element of mythology to the coin's design, highlighting both religious beliefs and cultural significance. As we delve into this artifact from centuries past, it becomes clear that coins were not merely objects used for currency but also served as powerful tools for propaganda and storytelling. They provide valuable insights into ancient societies' values, aesthetics, and even political ideologies. Preserved through time with remarkable coloration intact, this Denarius offers us a glimpse into the intricate world of numismatics -the study of coins- allowing us to appreciate their artistic value beyond their monetary worth. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection gallery space; this piece stands as a reminder that heritage art holds immense importance in understanding our collective human story.
