EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin portraying Emperor Antoninus Pius, dating back to 145 AD. Created by an unknown artist during the 2nd century in Alexandria, this ancient Roman artifact is now preserved in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The close-up image allows us to marvel at the intricate details and craftsmanship of this billon bronze coin. Against a grey background, the portrait of Emperor Antoninus Pius emerges with striking clarity and depth. His regal countenance reflects his status as a revered ruler during the Nerva-Antonine dynasty. As we delve into history through this art piece, we are transported to ancient Rome and its vast empire that stretched across continents. This currency served not only as a means of exchange but also as a symbol of power and authority. The letterbox format enhances our visual experience, providing panoramic views that encompass both the beauty of the coin itself and its historical significance. The use of color adds vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic scene, highlighting every contour on Emperor Antoninus Pius' face. Through this photograph, we are reminded of Egypt's connection to Rome during this era; it was under Roman rule when Alexandria flourished as an influential city in arts and culture. This exceptional studio shot captures more than just an object; it encapsulates centuries worth of heritage art that continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
