EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Numismatic Illustrations of the Narrative Portions of the New Testament" by John Yonge Akerman, an exquisite engraving from the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in The Pictorial Times on November 14,1846. The artwork depicts various coins that hold significant historical and religious symbolism related to biblical narratives. From legends to lords, this composition features coins from different provinces such as Samaritan Province, Second Province, Asia Minor, and Syria. Each coin tells its own story through intricate engravings representing emperors like Antoninus Pius and Claudius Caesar. Notable representations include the head of Emperor Trajan on a tetradrachm coin and a stunning depiction of Diana Ephesia on another. Coins bearing images related to Herod the Great, Tiberius Caesar, Baal, Philip, Caracalla, Agrippina are also featured. These numismatic illustrations provide valuable insights into ancient currencies used during biblical times while shedding light on important figures and events mentioned in the New Testament. They offer glimpses into trade routes between provinces and highlight cultural influences prevalent during that era. The print captures every detail with precision—reverse sides displaying holy temples like the Temple of Diana—and obverse sides showcasing portraits or symbolic imagery associated with each ruler or region. With its rich historical significance and artistic finesse by John Yonge Akerman himself—an esteemed figure in numismatics—this engraving serves as both an educational resource for scholars studying ancient civilizations and a visual delight for art enthusiasts fascinated by intricate details found within old-world currency designs.
