EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 134 BCE, depicting the powerful Goddess Roma. Created by an unknown artist during the ancient Roman era, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of that time. The image focuses on a close-up view of the coin, allowing us to marvel at its intricate details. The goddess's head is beautifully sculpted, with her majestic helmet adorned with feathers and a visor in the shape of a chariot. Her piercing eyes exude strength and determination as she personifies Rome herself. Set against a grey background, this monochromatic composition emphasizes the timeless beauty of this ancient currency. The denarius was not only used for trade but also served as a symbol of power and wealth within Roman society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era where mythology intertwined with daily life. This coin represents more than just currency; it embodies religious beliefs, warfare strategies, and the resilience of an empire that once dominated much of Europe. Displayed in an art gallery or museum setting like the Art Institute Chicago's Ancient Mediterranean collection, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to connect us with our past while inspiring future generations.
