EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coin portraying Emperor Claudius II Gothicus, who reigned from 268 to 270 AD. Created by an unknown artist in the ancient city of Alexandria, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Rome. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient currency. The coin, made of billon (a silver alloy), features a striking image of Emperor Claudius II Gothicus himself. His regal countenance is captured with remarkable precision, showcasing his authoritative presence and royal stature. Set against a grey background, the monochrome color palette adds a sense of timelessness to the image. As we delve into the past through this photograph, we are transported back to an era when coins were not only symbols of wealth but also reflections of power and influence. This particular coin serves as a testament to Emperor Claudius II's reign during turbulent times in Roman history. Preserved within the collection at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium exhibit, this piece represents both artistic mastery and historical significance. Its letterbox format invites viewers to immerse themselves in its story while appreciating its aesthetic value. Through this photo print, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with finance and politics throughout human civilization. It stands as an enduring testament to our collective heritage and provides us with insights into cultures long gone but never forgotten.
