EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius Serratus, an ancient Roman coin dating back to 106 BCE. The coin depicts the revered God Saturn, whose significance in Roman mythology and religion cannot be overstated. Crafted by an unknown creator during the 2nd century BC, this remarkable piece of art is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image provides a close-up view of the coin's intricate details against a grey background. The vibrant colors and fine craftsmanship are evident even after centuries have passed since its creation. The profiled head of Saturn gazes solemnly into the distance, exuding power and wisdom. In this depiction, Saturn stands as a symbol of agriculture and prosperity, with his association to bountiful harvests being highly valued in ancient Rome. Behind him lies a horse-drawn chariot, representing road transportation during that era. As we admire this relic from antiquity, it serves as a reminder not only of Rome's rich cultural heritage but also its advanced monetary system. Denarii like this were once used as currency throughout the vast Roman Empire. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic prowess and religious devotion that characterized life in ancient Rome. It is truly awe-inspiring to behold such tangible remnants from our past and appreciate their enduring beauty.
