EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Silver stater from Tarsos, dating back to 361-334 BCE. The coin depicts an exquisite scene on its surface, divided into two distinct parts. On the left side, we see Baal of Tarsos majestically seated on his throne, radiating power and authority. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the ancient civilization's religious beliefs and their reverence for deities. On the right side of the coin, an intense battle unfolds as a fierce lion lunges forward to attack a bull. This imagery symbolizes strength and dominance in nature, reflecting the values that were cherished during that era. The significance of this artifact extends beyond its artistic beauty; it provides valuable insights into ancient economics and trade practices. As currency played a crucial role in facilitating transactions within societies at that time, this Silver stater sheds light on the monetary system prevalent in Tarsos during this period. Ilan Rosen's expert photography captures every intricate detail of this silver coin with precision and clarity. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gain deeper knowledge about Middle Eastern culture and archaeology.
