EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 56 BCE, depicting the esteemed King Ancus Marcius of ancient Rome. Issued by L. Marcius Philippus, this piece of currency holds immense historical significance and offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The close-up image beautifully captures the intricate details on the coin's surface against a grey background, emphasizing its delicate coloration and metallic shine. The profiled head of King Ancus Marcius is prominently featured, exuding an air of regality and authority. Mounted on horseback in equestrian fashion, this depiction highlights both the king's leadership qualities and his connection to horses—an animal often associated with power and nobility in Roman culture. The panoramic letterbox format allows for an immersive viewing experience that transports us back to ancient Italy. As we admire this remarkable artifact, it serves as a reminder of Rome's rich heritage and its influence on Western civilization. It also symbolizes the importance placed on monetary systems during that era—a testament to their advanced financial practices. Displayed within an art gallery or museum setting such as the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical context. Through this image captured by an unknown artist, we are granted access to a tangible piece of history—connecting us with our past while inspiring curiosity about those who came before us.
