EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm coin portraying Emperor Aurelian, dating back to the year 270. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this piece of art is now on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. The close-up image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into minting this coin. Emperor Aurelian, also known as Lucius Domitius Aurelianus, was a prominent figure in Roman history. This billon coin served as a form of currency during his reign and reflects the crisis faced by the Roman Empire during the third century. With its grey background and letterbox format, this panoramic shot brings out every nuance of color on this silver tetradrachm. The obverse side of the coin features a striking portrait of Emperor Aurelian himself. His stern expression exudes power and authority, reminding us of his military prowess during a time characterized by military anarchy within Rome. As we gaze upon this royal visage captured in metal, we are transported back to ancient Italy where coins like these played an essential role in daily life. This heritage artwork serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to artistic excellence from centuries past. It invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of ancient Mediterranean culture while appreciating its enduring beauty today.
