EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Follis coin portraying Emperor Galerius, believed to be from around 301 AD. The unknown creator of this ancient artifact has beautifully captured the essence of Roman art and history. The close-up image allows us to appreciate the intricate details on the bronze coin, which was once used as currency in Alexandria, Egypt during the 4th century. The color palette chosen for this piece is predominantly grey, emphasizing its historical significance. Emperor Galerius Maximianus Valerius, also known as Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus, ruled over the Roman Empire during a time when Christianity was gaining prominence. His reign marked an important period in history with his issuance of the Edict of Toleration towards Christians. This portrait reflects his royal stature and authority through his stern expression and regal attire. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in ancient Rome's rich heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures not only an object but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since Emperor Galerius' rule, his legacy lives on through artifacts like these that continue to captivate our imagination and curiosity about life in ancient times.
