EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Antoninianus coin from 238 AD, portraying Emperor Balbinus during the tumultuous Crisis of the Third Century in ancient Rome. Issued by Balbinus and his co-emperor Pupienus, this bronze coin symbolizes their agreement and alliance to restore stability to the Roman Empire. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this ancient currency, with its silver color contrasting against a grey background. The image captures two men shaking hands on one side of the coin, representing the unity between Balbinus and Pupienus amidst military anarchy. Their regal heads are depicted with utmost precision, showcasing their authority and power. This piece is part of the Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection at The Art Institute Chicago's Art Centre. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history when these emperors sought to stabilize their country. It serves as a reminder that even during times of crisis, leaders can come together for a common purpose. The unknown artist who created this masterpiece has immortalized not only these two influential figures but also an era marked by political turmoil. Through this photograph print, we can admire both the artistic skill involved in crafting such coins and gain insight into ancient Roman culture and heritage.
