EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 110-109 BCE, depicting the majestic Goddess Roma. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of that time. The coin's obverse side features a close-up of Roma's head, beautifully captured in intricate detail against a grey background. The goddess is personified as a powerful and regal woman, her image exuding strength and wisdom. She wears an elegant crown adorned with feathers and holds a scepter symbolizing authority. Behind her, two magnificent horses pull a chariot, representing road transport in ancient Rome. The use of color on this silver coin adds depth and vibrancy to the overall composition. The letterbox format allows for an immersive panoramic view of this remarkable artwork. As we admire this stunning piece at the Art Institute of Chicago's Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, we are transported back in time to witness the influence of Roman mythology on their currency. This denarius not only served as currency but also acted as a religious artifact embodying Roma's divine presence. Through its exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance, this photograph invites us to appreciate both the artistry and cultural importance behind ancient Roman coins like these Denarii.
