EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of the magnificent Great Gold Medal of Justinian I, dating back to 527-65 AD. The image captures the obverse side of the medal, which was created around 534 AD by an anonymous Roman artist from the 6th century. Currently housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this remarkable piece holds great historical significance. The original medal was discovered in Caesarea in Cappadocia and was previously part of the esteemed Cabinet de Medailles collection in Paris. Measuring approximately 81-83mm cm, it is equal to 36 Solidi - a currency used during that era. The photograph reveals an embossed portrait depicting Emperor Justinian I himself. He is portrayed facing forward with a regal helmet adorned with a crown made from peacock feathers. A spear-wielding soldier stands beside him, emphasizing his authoritative presence as both Caesar and officer. Every detail on this coin speaks volumes about classical artistry and craftsmanship. The Latin text stamped onto its surface adds an air of authenticity and elegance to this timeless masterpiece. This print beautifully captures not only the essence but also preserves history for generations to come. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic excellence during one of civilization's most significant periods – truly deserving its place among fine art collections worldwide.
