EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact, the Solidus coin portraying Heraclius and his son Heraclius Constantine. Created between 613-616, this exquisite piece of craftsmanship is an invaluable representation of Byzantine art and history. The identity of its creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The coin depicts Emperor Heraclius, adorned with a majestic crown and a crucifix symbolizing his Christian faith. Standing beside him is his beloved son, Heraclius Constantine, who would later become co-emperor alongside his father. Their powerful presence emanates from the image as they both gaze confidently into the distance. Crafted in gold with meticulous attention to detail, this coin serves not only as currency but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Byzantine Empire. Its vibrant colors add depth and vibrancy to their regal visages. Displayed within the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this artifact offers visitors a glimpse into an era long gone by. It invites contemplation on themes such as family dynamics, fatherhood, finance, and power structures prevalent during that time. As we marvel at this tangible link to history's past in all its glory - metal forged by skilled hands centuries ago - we are reminded once again of our shared human legacy across time and space.
