EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sestertius coin portraying Emperor Domitian, dating back to the 1st century AD. Created by an unknown artist, this ancient Roman artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic mastery of the time. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this bronze coinage. Emperor Domitian, also known as Caesar Domitianus Augustus, was a prominent figure in the Flavian Dynasty and ruled over the vast Roman Empire during his reign. His stern yet regal countenance is captured flawlessly on this coin, revealing his authority and power. The image is presented against a subtle grey background, enhancing its visual impact. The letterbox format adds depth and dimension to this panoramic composition. This studio shot perfectly captures every nuance of the original piece with remarkable clarity. As we gaze upon this heritage art from Italy, it transports us back in time to an era where currency served not only as a means of exchange but also as a reflection of political influence and cultural identity. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to explore further into the arts of ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to connect with our past through one man's likeness immortalized on metal for eternity.
