EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare coin from the 3rd century, featuring Emperor Tacitus. Minted in Ticinum, northern Italy, this ancient Roman artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of the era. The obverse side of the coin portrays Emperor Tacitus himself, with his profile elegantly captured in intricate detail. His regal presence exudes power and authority, reflecting the stature of an emperor. On the reverse side of the coin, we see a depiction of Providence holding a globe and sceptre. This symbolizes divine guidance and control over worldly affairs during that time period. The use of color adds vibrancy to this ancient relic, bringing it to life for modern viewers. The significance of this coin extends beyond its monetary value; it serves as a window into the past and provides valuable insights into Roman culture and numismatics. As part of the Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this piece contributes to our understanding and appreciation for heritage art. Although its creator remains unknown, their craftsmanship has stood the test of time. This remarkable portrait immortalizes Emperor Tacitus while offering us a glimpse into an empire that once reigned supreme over much of Europe.
