EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin dating back to 14-37 CE, depicting the mighty Zeus Akraios. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this bronze currency piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of that time. The image captures a close-up view of the obverse side of the coin, revealing intricate details and vibrant colors against a subtle grey background. Zeus, known as the god of the sky and ruler of all gods in Greek mythology, is depicted seated majestically on this ancient artifact. The letterbox format allows for a panoramic view, immersing viewers into the world where this coin once circulated as legal tender. Its significance extends beyond mere currency; it represents religious beliefs and cultural values cherished by people in ancient Rome. Displayed at an art gallery within The Art Institute Chicago's collection titled "Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium" this photograph invites contemplation on history's enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at these extraordinary works from our past. As we gaze upon this studio shot taken with precision and care, we are reminded that despite its anonymous creator, their talent has left an indelible mark on our collective human story.
