EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Quinarius coin dating back to around 43-42 BCE, depicting the powerful Goddess Victory. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient Roman artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of that era. The reverse side of the coin features a majestic lion facing right, symbolizing strength and courage. Minted in Gallia Transalpina, which corresponds to modern-day France, this coin represents the first Roman province established north of the Alps. Its exquisite design and craftsmanship make it a valuable piece in the Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. The allegorical figure depicted on this silver coin embodies victory itself, with her flowing robes and confident profile. This numismatic treasure not only serves as a currency but also reflects Rome's reverence for female deities and their association with success. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. It stands as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers us an opportunity to appreciate the artistry that has transcended generations.
