EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin depicting the mighty God Ares, dating back to 306-281 BCE. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Greek era, this bronze masterpiece is a true testament to the rich heritage of art and mythology. The image captures a close-up view of the coin, revealing intricate details and vibrant colors against a grey background. The profile of Ares, god of war in Greek mythology, dominates the composition with his strong and commanding presence. His fierce gaze exudes power and determination as he wears a lion's skin on his head symbolizing his ferocity. As we delve into this ancient artifact, it transports us back in time to an era where currency not only served as means for financial transactions but also carried deep religious significance. This coinage represents both cultural identity and divine worship within Thrace, highlighting its historical importance. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our connection to our past and how art can transcend time. Through this stunning studio shot captured by an anonymous photographer from Heritage Images, we are granted access to explore history through visual storytelling – reminding us that even though creators may be forgotten over time, their artistic legacy lives on forever.
