EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 56 BCE, featuring the portrait of King Ancus Marcius. Minted in Rome by L. Marcius Philippus, this ancient Roman currency piece is a testament to the rich history and artistry of the era. The obverse side depicts a striking profile of King Ancus Marcius himself, exuding regal power and authority. On the reverse side, an equestrian statue stands proudly on an aqueduct, framed by arches adorned with the letters AQVA MAR. This intricate design symbolizes both architectural prowess and water management skills that were highly valued during ancient times. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this coin represents not only monetary value but also serves as a window into Roman culture and heritage. Its silver composition adds to its allure as it gleams under gallery lights. The identity of the artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown; however, their craftsmanship has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to ancient Rome—a world ruled by monarchs like King Ancus Marcius—where coins served as tangible symbols of wealth and power for both individuals and nations alike.
