EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Aureus coin from ancient Rome, dating back to 69 CE during the short reign of Emperor Otho. Crafted with meticulous detail, this remarkable piece was issued by Otho himself and minted in the heart of Rome. The front side portrays a striking profile portrait of Emperor Otho, revealing his regal countenance and commanding presence. On the reverse side, we are greeted by Securitas, the Roman goddess symbolizing security and stability. She is depicted holding a wreath and sceptre, representing her role in safeguarding the empire's prosperity. This masterful depiction highlights both artistic finesse and historical significance. The golden hue of this aureus coin adds to its allure as it reflects centuries of history within its metallic surface. It serves as a tangible link to an era long past – a testament to the wealth, power, and cultural richness that defined ancient Rome. Displayed proudly within an art gallery or museum setting such as the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this artifact captivates viewers with its intricate design and evocative symbolism. As we gaze upon this enigmatic figure from antiquity - Marcus Salvius Otho Caesar Augustus - we are transported back in time to witness his brief but impactful reign over one of history's most influential civilizations.
