EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Ancient Greek coins dating back to the 3rd to 5th century BCE. The image captures five distinct coins, each representing a different era and region within ancient Greece. From left to right, we observe the first coin known as Kroisos (560-546 BCE), followed by Aegina (510-490 BCE), Sicily Akragas (510-472 BCE), Lydia (450-330 BCE), and finally Sikyon (430-390 BCE). These remarkable artifacts provide us with tangible connections to an ancient civilization that flourished thousands of years ago. The intricate details on each coin reflect the rich history and culture of their respective regions. As we examine these coins, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into the economic systems, trade routes, and artistic styles prevalent during this period. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of ancient civilizations but also highlights the importance of archaeology in uncovering our past. It reminds us that through careful excavation and preservation efforts, we can continue unraveling mysteries from antiquity. Ilan Rosen's expertly captured image invites us to appreciate these archaeological treasures for their historical significance rather than commercial value. It is a visual reminder of how far humanity has come while honoring our roots in ancient civilisations like Greece.
