EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient coin portraying Emperor Constantius II, dating back to the 4th century. Created by an unknown artist, this bronze artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Rome. The obverse side features a striking profile portrait of Constantius II, capturing his regal presence and commanding gaze. As one of the rulers of the Roman Empire during this era, Constantius II's image on currency symbolized power and authority. The reverse side depicts a labarum, a military standard used by Roman soldiers in battle. Flanked by two soldiers, this emblem represents strength and valor in defense of the empire. Minted in Augusta Treverorum (modern Trier), Germany, this coin traveled through time to become an invaluable piece housed at the Art Institute Chicago. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this coin serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It provides us with insights into ancient numismatics -the study of coins- shedding light on economic systems and trade practices prevalent during that period. As we admire this heritage art from centuries ago, we are reminded of how currency has always played a significant role in society—representing not only financial value but also cultural identity and political influence. This photograph invites us to explore the wonders of Ancient Rome while honoring those who have contributed to preserving our shared human legacy throughout generations.
