EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Quinarius coin from 89 BCE, depicting the powerful symbol of Liberty. Created by an unknown artist during the Roman Empire, this ancient piece of currency holds immense historical and artistic significance. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details on the obverse side of the coin. The allegorical figure of Liberty takes center stage, personifying freedom and independence. Her regal head is beautifully rendered in silver against a grey background, creating a striking contrast that enhances her presence. This female representation stands as a testament to the progressive ideals held by ancient Romans. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to witness an era where coins were not just means of exchange but also works of art. The craftsmanship exhibited here speaks volumes about the skill and creativity prevalent in ancient Rome. Preserved with care at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, this Quinarius coin serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It offers us a glimpse into an age when metal objects like these played an integral role in shaping society and its financial systems. Through this photograph, we can appreciate both the beauty inherent in numismatic artistry and its historical importance for understanding civilizations long gone.
