EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Aureus coin from ancient Rome, portraying the esteemed Emperor Tiberius. Minted between 15-37 CE in Lugdunum (modern Lyon), this remarkable piece of currency is a testament to the rich history and artistry of the Roman Empire. On the obverse side, we see a striking profile portrait of Emperor Tiberius himself, capturing his regal presence and authority. The intricate details on this gold coinage highlight the craftsmanship and skill of ancient Roman numismatists. The reverse side presents a fascinating depiction that possibly represents Tiberius's mother, Livia, as Pax - the goddess of peace. She is shown enthroned with a sceptre and branch, symbolizing her role in maintaining harmony within the empire. This artifact not only serves as a valuable monetary object but also provides insights into religious beliefs during that era. It reflects how religion played an integral part in Roman society and governance. Preserved through time, this rare coin offers us a glimpse into the lives and reigns of both Emperor Tiberius and his influential mother Livia. Its discovery adds to our understanding of ancient Rome's cultural heritage while reminding us of its enduring legacy in shaping modern civilization. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures every intricate detail with vibrant coloration – allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance without commercial intent or use.
