EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Aureus coin from ancient Rome, specifically portraying Emperor Caracalla. Minted in 216 and issued by Caracalla himself, this remarkable piece of currency holds immense historical significance. The reverse side of the coin features a depiction of Serapis, the god wearing a polos on his head, raising his right hand while holding a sceptre. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured in this photograph bring to life the artistry and craftsmanship of the third century Roman Empire. It is fascinating to observe how coins served not only as a means of exchange but also as powerful tools for propaganda and religious symbolism. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the legacy left behind by Emperor Caracalla. His profile portrait reminds us of his authority and influence during that era. Furthermore, the inclusion of Serapis emphasizes the strong connection between religion and politics in ancient Rome. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this rare artifact serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. Its presence allows us to delve into history's depths while marveling at its artistic beauty. Credit goes to an unknown creator who expertly captured every nuance present on this precious coin through their lens. This print stands as a tribute not only to Emperor Caracalla but also to all those who have contributed towards preserving our past for future generations' appreciation.
