EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin depicting the Goddess Tyche, dating back to 31 BCE-476 CE. Crafted by an unknown creator, this ancient Roman artifact is a testament to the rich heritage of art and culture in the Mediterranean region. The reverse side of the coin features another prominent deity, Athena, holding a spear with grace and power. Minted in Antioch ad Maeandron, Caria during the 3rd century BC, this bronze currency piece carries historical significance as it represents not only wealth but also religious beliefs of that era. The vibrant colors on this well-preserved coin add depth and allure to its overall appearance. The profile view of Tyche portrays her as a female figure exuding strength and wisdom. As the goddess of fortune and prosperity, she symbolizes luck and abundance for those who worshiped her. This depiction serves as a reminder of how religion played an integral role in shaping society during ancient times. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this artwork provides visitors with a glimpse into Italy's artistic legacy while highlighting women's representation in ancient Roman culture. It stands as an invaluable artifact that connects us to our past and invites contemplation about our shared human history.
