EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius Serratus, an ancient Roman coin minted in 118 BCE. The coin depicts the revered Goddess Roma, exuding grace and power with her profiled image. Her majestic head dress adds to her divine presence, symbolizing her significance in Roman religion and culture. The reverse side of the coin reveals a mesmerizing scene of a Gallic warrior riding on a biga chariot. This intricate artwork highlights the skilled craftsmanship of the unknown creator who meticulously captured every detail. Minted in Narbo (modern-day Narbonne), this piece represents not only currency but also serves as a testament to Rome's extensive influence during the 2nd century BC. The vibrant colors and metallic shine preserved on this ancient artifact transport us back in time, providing glimpses into life during one of history's most iconic civilizations. As we admire this heritage art at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, we are reminded of how money transcends mere currency; it becomes an embodiment of cultural identity and historical legacy. This remarkable photograph print invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this small yet powerful object. It serves as a reminder that even though its creator remains unknown, their talent continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
