EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from around 100 BCE, depicting the powerful Goddess Roma. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of that time. The image captures a close-up view of the coin, displaying intricate details in vibrant colors against a grey background. The obverse side reveals the majestic head of Roma herself, adorned with an elaborate helmet and armor symbolizing her association with war and warfare. Mounted on horseback, she personifies strength and valor as she rides into battle. The Denarius was not only a form of currency but also served as a medium for artistic expression and religious symbolism. In Roman mythology, Roma represented not just the city itself but also embodied its people's collective identity and their devotion to victory in conflicts. This panoramic shot allows us to appreciate every aspect of this remarkable piece. Its letterbox format adds depth to our understanding of ancient Rome's culture and heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph invites viewers to delve into history while marveling at the craftsmanship behind such timeless artifacts. As we gaze upon this stunning depiction captured by an anonymous creator centuries ago, we are reminded once again how art transcends time – connecting us with civilizations long gone yet leaving an indelible mark on our present-day appreciation for beauty and storytelling.
