EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Tetradrachm of Kingdom of Armenia, featuring Tigranes the Great and Tyche of Antioch. The silver coin, now part of a private collection, holds immense significance in the world of numismatics and ancient Greece. Tigranes II, also known as Tigranes the Great, was an influential Armenian king who reigned during the 1st century BC. This tetradrachm serves as a testament to his power and authority. Depicted on one side is Tigranes himself, with regal features that exude strength and wisdom. The other side portrays Tyche, the goddess representing fortune or luck in Greek mythology. As Tyche was associated with Antioch - an important city in ancient Syria - her presence on this coin suggests a connection between Tigranes' kingdom and this prosperous metropolis. The craftsmanship exhibited on this tetradrachm is truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate detail has been meticulously preserved over centuries, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic beauty. As we delve into the past through objects like these coins, we gain valuable insights into ancient civilizations and their cultural exchanges. This photograph invites us to explore the rich tapestry of human history while marveling at the skillful artistry that has endured through time.
