EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin portraying Emperor Hadrian, dating back to 133-134 AD. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this bronze artifact is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Alexandria, Egypt. The close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details of the coin's design against a subtle grey background. The image reveals Hadrian's noble profile, his regal head adorned with a crown that symbolizes his status as Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus. As we delve into the past through this stunning piece of art, we are transported to an era when Rome reigned supreme over vast territories across Europe and beyond. This coinage served as both currency and propaganda for the Nerva-Antonine dynasty, which included emperors like Nerva, Trajan, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius - all influential figures in shaping ancient Rome. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's prestigious Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph invites us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. The color palette adds depth to our understanding of how these coins were crafted using various metals such as bronze. Through this panoramic view in letterbox format, we are reminded that even though centuries have passed since its creation in Khurusan (modern-day Iran), this ancient object continues to captivate modern audiences with its timeless allure.
