EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Quinarius coin from the 4th century, depicting Emperor Arcadius during his reign in ancient Rome. The image captures the intricate details of this historical artifact, minted in Mediolanum (modern Milan, Italy). On one side of the coin, we see a striking profile portrait of Emperor Arcadius himself, exuding power and authority. His regal presence is further accentuated by the use of gold on this remarkable piece. The reverse side features an allegorical figure - the goddess Victory. This symbolizes triumph and success associated with the emperor's rule. The combination of numismatics and artistry beautifully merges on this small yet significant object that once circulated as currency. Preserved through time, this coin serves as a testament to Roman history and its financial system. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this heritage art piece at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, we are reminded of how art can transcend centuries and connect us to our past. Although created by an unknown artist, their craftsmanship has left an indelible mark on history. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such coins as well as their cultural significance within Roman society.
