EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Roman coin known as the Solidus, minted between 375-378 AD. The focal point of this exquisite piece is Emperor Gratian, whose profile is elegantly portrayed on one side. The unknown creator skillfully captures the emperor's regal countenance and authoritative presence, emphasizing his status as a powerful ruler of the time. On the reverse side of the coin, we are treated to an intriguing scene featuring two seated emperors holding a globe, accompanied by a winged figure. This intricate design symbolizes their dominion over vast territories and their divine connection to power and authority. Minted in Augusta Treverorum (modern Trier), this artifact not only serves as a testament to ancient Rome's advanced numismatic craftsmanship but also offers valuable insights into its political and economic landscape during the 4th century. Its golden hue adds an air of opulence and prestige to this historical treasure. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this print allows art enthusiasts and history buffs alike to marvel at its beauty from afar. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while offering glimpses into the lives of those who once held these coins in their hands.
