EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman Imperial Coin from Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, dating back to AD 271. Measuring at just 2x2 cm, this debased silver coin is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The coin features an intriguing portrait of Domitianus II, believed to have been a Roman soldier who briefly claimed the title of emperor during late 270 or early 271. Often regarded as a usurper of the Gallic Empire, Domitianus II's story adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this ancient artifact. The intricate details on the obverse side depict a man wearing a crown, symbolizing his imperial status within the vast Roman Empire. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the rich history and significance of numismatics in understanding past civilizations. As we gaze upon this well-preserved relic, we are transported back in time to an era where currency played a vital role in shaping societies. The craftsmanship and symbolism captured on this small coin serve as reminders of Rome's grandeur and power during its imperial reign. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to explore not only the physical beauty but also delve into historical narratives that surround such artifacts. It is through these glimpses into our past that we gain deeper insights into human civilization and culture.
