EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin portraying King Ptolemy of Cyprus, dating back to 68-67 BCE. The creator of this ancient masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the already fascinating piece. The coin itself is a testament to the rich history and artistry of ancient Greece, specifically during the Hellenistic period. Its intricate details are brought to life against a grey background, allowing us to appreciate every aspect with clarity. In this close-up shot, we see the regal profile of King Ptolemy himself, his head adorned with a majestic crown that signifies his royal status. His gaze is focused and determined, reflecting both power and wisdom. A bird of prey perches atop the king's shoulder—a symbol often associated with sovereignty in ancient times—adding another layer of symbolism and significance to this extraordinary artifact. Crafted from silver, this currency not only served as a means for financial transactions but also represented the monarch's authority over Cyprus during the Ptolemaic dynasty. Displayed within an art gallery at The Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, it stands as a testament to our shared heritage and offers visitors an opportunity to connect with history on a profound level. As we admire this panoramic image captured by an anonymous photographer in letterbox format, we are reminded once again how art transcends time—allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone while preserving their beauty for generations yet unborn.
