EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius Serratus, an ancient Roman coin dating back to approximately 81 BCE. The coin features a remarkable depiction of the revered Goddess Diana, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The image captures the head of Diana in exquisite detail against a subtle grey background. Her divine beauty is accentuated by the expert use of color and shading on the silver surface of the coin. This close-up view allows us to appreciate every intricate feature, from her serene expression to her flowing hair adorned with a diadem. Diana was highly venerated in ancient Rome as the goddess of hunting, wilderness, and childbirth. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when religion played a significant role in people's lives. This photograph was taken at the Art Institute Chicago's art centre, where it is displayed among other fascinating arts from ancient Mediterranean civilizations and Byzantium. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and offers us glimpses into life during the Roman Empire. As we contemplate this stunning piece of history captured through metalwork and artistic skill, let us marvel at how such small objects can hold immense value both financially and culturally.
