EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Roman coin portraying Emperor Constantius II, who reigned from 337 to 361. Created by an unknown artist, this bronze coin features a stunning profile portrait of the emperor on its obverse side. The reverse side presents an intriguing combat scene, adding depth and symbolism to this numismatic treasure. Minted in Aquileia, located in modern-day Italy, during the 4th century AD, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of Ancient Rome. Its vibrant colors and intricate details highlight the craftsmanship that went into producing such currency. Displayed within the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this piece represents both cultural heritage and financial significance. It serves as a reminder of how coins were not only means of exchange but also powerful symbols of authority during Roman times. The enigmatic figure depicted on this coin is none other than Emperor Constantius II himself - Flavius Julius Constantius Augustus. His royal status is evident through his regal appearance and commanding presence captured by the anonymous artist. As we admire this rare object from antiquity, it invites us to reflect upon our connection with history while marveling at the skillful artistry that has preserved it for centuries.
