EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius, an ancient Roman coin dating back to 104 BCE. The coin features a remarkable depiction of the Goddess Roma, beautifully crafted by an unknown artist from the 2nd century BC. Set against a serene grey background, the image captures every intricate detail of this historical artifact. The goddess is portrayed with regal elegance, her head adorned with a majestic crown and her face exuding grace and wisdom. She personifies Rome itself, symbolizing its power and influence during the Roman Empire. The coin's obverse side reveals a close-up view of Roma's visage, emphasizing her importance in Roman mythology and religion. Adding to the allure of this artwork are two magnificent horses pulling a chariot on the reverse side of the coin. This equestrian scene represents not only transportation but also signifies victory and triumph for Rome. The use of color enhances our appreciation for this ancient treasure; silver tones highlight both the metal composition of the coin as well as its monetary value in ancient times. Displayed at Art Institute Chicago's Art Centre, this photograph invites viewers into an exploration of arts from Ancient Mediterranean civilizations. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage while offering us glimpses into their artistic mastery over centuries past.
