EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Roman coin depicting the goddess Tyche, dating back to 98-117. Crafted by an unknown creator, this bronze artifact is a testament to the artistic prowess of its time. The obverse side features the profile of Tyche, a revered deity associated with fortune and prosperity. Her serene expression exudes wisdom and grace, capturing the essence of divine femininity. On the reverse side, we are greeted by Homonoia holding a patera (dish) and cornucopia. This symbolizes harmony and abundance in society—a powerful reminder of unity's importance during that era. Originating from Smyrna in Ionia (modern Izmir, Turkey), this coin represents not only ancient Rome but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of its location. The color palette adds depth to this numismatic treasure while highlighting its intricate details. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, it sparks curiosity about life in ancient times—how currency played a role in daily transactions and how religion intertwined with people's lives. Preserved within the Art Institute Chicago's collection on arts of the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, this piece stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It serves as both an educational tool for enthusiasts interested in numismatics and an exquisite work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
