EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient coin depicting the Amazon Cyme, believed to have been created between 253-68. The identity of the talented artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The coin itself is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Ancient Rome, featuring intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the image to life. Set against a striking grey background, it commands attention with its letterbox format. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the powerful figure depicted on the obverse side - a fierce female warrior representing an Amazon from Greek mythology. Her head held high in regal fashion, she exudes strength and determination as she stands ready for battle. On closer inspection, we discover another intriguing element: an emperor's portrait adorns the reverse side of this ancient currency. This juxtaposition highlights both gender roles and power dynamics within Roman society during that era. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a window into history, shedding light on not only ancient monetary systems but also societal values and beliefs surrounding war and gender roles in Roman culture. It is truly a treasure worth exploring at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection.
