EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare ancient Roman coin, featuring Emperor Julianus who reigned from 360 to 363 AD. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the artwork. Minted in Arelate (modern Arles), this bronze coin bears a striking profile portrait of Julianus on its obverse side. The detailed craftsmanship and exquisite design make it evident that this coin was not only a means of currency but also a symbol of power and authority during the Roman Empire. On the reverse side, we find an image of a majestic bull, further emphasizing the strength and grandeur associated with imperial rule. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, this artifact offers viewers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Ancient Rome. It serves as a reminder of how coins played an essential role in shaping economies, politics, and societies throughout history. As we admire this numismatic treasure, let us reflect upon Emperor Julianus' reign as well-known for his attempts to revive pagan traditions amidst growing Christian influence within the empire. This unique portrayal captures both his regal stature as well as his controversial legacy as "Julian the Apostate". Through its vibrant colors and meticulous details preserved over centuries, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides valuable insights into one man's place in history - forever immortalized on this small yet significant piece of metal.
