EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from ancient Rome, specifically portraying Julia Mamaea, who reigned as empress from 231 to 235 AD during the Roman Empire. Minted in Antioch, Syria, this silver coin bears the image of Julia Mamaea on its obverse side. Her profile is beautifully depicted with an intricate hairstyle and regal features that exude power and elegance. On the reverse side of the coin, we find a depiction of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. She is shown wearing a helmet, holding a spear and shield - symbols of strength and protection. This unique combination of both imperial imagery and religious symbolism makes this particular Denarius quite unusual. The craftsmanship exhibited in this ancient artifact is truly remarkable; every detail has been carefully etched onto the metal surface. The coloration adds depth to the portrait's lifelike qualities while also highlighting its historical significance. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from centuries past at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exquisite work of art but also a tangible representation of currency used during that era. It serves as a reminder that even coins can be vessels for artistic expression and cultural heritage.
