EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable solidus coin from the time of Theodosius the Great, beautifully engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this ancient Roman currency piece offers us a glimpse into history and the reign of Flavius Theodosius. Theodosius, known as both Emperor of the East (379-92) and Emperor of both East and West (392-95), was a prominent figure during his era. This profile portrait on the coin captures his authoritative presence and regal demeanor with great precision. As we admire this exquisite engraving, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where this solidus coin would have been used as legal tender. Its intricate design speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of that time period. It is fascinating to hold such tangible evidence of our past in our hands through prints like these. They serve as reminders that history is not just confined within dusty textbooks but can be experienced through art and artifacts. This particular print by Ken Welsh allows us to appreciate not only Theodosius' legacy but also the skillful workmanship involved in creating such coins centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout different periods in history.
