EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from the late 3rd century, featuring an exquisite portrayal of Emperor Maximus. Created by an unknown artist during the crisis of the third century in Ancient Rome, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of that era. The close-up shot highlights every intricate detail on this silver coinage. Against a grey background, Maximus's regal head emerges with striking clarity, capturing his commanding presence and royal stature. The letterbox format enhances its panoramic appeal, drawing viewers into the world of ancient Roman currency. Maximus Gaius Julius Verus was one of six emperors who ruled during this tumultuous period in Roman history known as military anarchy. His image on this denarius symbolizes power and authority amidst political instability. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it transports us back to Italy in the 3rd century when coins like these were not just mere currency but also reflections of imperial might and influence. This photograph serves as a reminder that even small objects can hold immense historical significance and offer glimpses into civilizations long gone. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium gallery, this image invites contemplation about our shared human past while honoring those who came before us.
