EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from the 1st century AD, depicting the powerful and revered Goddess Victory. Crafted by an unknown creator during ancient Roman times, this remarkable piece of currency is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of that era. The reverse side of the coin features a wreath encircling the inscription SPQR, symbolizing the authority and unity of Rome. Minted in Gaul (modern-day France), this silver coin holds immense historical significance as it represents not only wealth but also religious devotion. The allegorical figure of Victory adorns the obverse side, exuding grace and strength with her laurel crown and wreath. Her presence on this denarius serves as a reminder of Rome's military triumphs and divine protection. Displayed within an esteemed art gallery like the Art Institute Chicago, this numismatic treasure attracts admirers who appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural value. It belongs to a collection dedicated to preserving arts from ancient Mediterranean civilizations such as Byzantium. As we marvel at this stunning depiction captured through photography, we are transported back in time to witness how coins played an integral role in shaping societies. This particular Denarius reminds us of women's influence in religion, finance, and politics during ancient Roman times—a testament to their significant contributions throughout history.
