EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare coin portraying Empress Salonina, dating back to the years 264-265. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this piece is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Alexandria, an ancient city in Egypt. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this billon coin. Against a grey background, Empress Salonina's head emerges with grace and elegance. The image captures her regal features and highlights her status as a powerful female figure in Roman society. As we delve into the past through this art piece, we are transported to a time when coins were not only currency but also symbols of political power and influence. This silver coinage serves as a tangible link between ancient Rome and modern-day Italy. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, it represents both artistic mastery and historical preservation. Its panoramic letterbox format draws viewers into its story while emphasizing its importance within our collective heritage. Although created centuries ago by an anonymous artist, this image continues to captivate people today. It reminds us that women have played significant roles throughout history, even in male-dominated societies like Ancient Rome.
