EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sestertius coin portraying Germanicus, dating back to 37-38 AD. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this bronze coin is a remarkable piece of history. The close-up image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into its creation. Germanicus, a prominent figure in Roman history, was part of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and held significant influence within the empire. This coin serves as a testament to his power and royal status during his time. The monochromatic grey background enhances the visual impact of this stunning portrait. The letterbox format adds depth and dimension to the composition, drawing our attention solely towards Germanicus' head. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome – a period characterized by grandeur, wealth, and cultural achievements. It reminds us of the importance placed on artistry even in everyday objects like currency. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph captures not only an object but also reflects our fascination with heritage art. Its presence within such esteemed galleries ensures that future generations can admire and learn from these historical artifacts. Through this studio shot taken by an anonymous photographer, we are granted access to explore one small fragment of Rome's rich past - forever immortalized through metalwork and preserved for centuries to come.
