EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tetradrachm of King Antiochus III the Great of Syria, dating back to 241-187 BC. The obverse side of this ancient coin, minted between 223-187 BC, features a striking profile portrait of the king himself. Antiochus III was a prominent Seleucid Greek monarch who valiantly battled against the powerful Roman republic during his reign. The image captures the essence of this historical figure, portraying him as a regal and authoritative leader. His strong facial features and commanding gaze reflect his status as a formidable ruler in ancient times. This coin serves not only as an artifact but also as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Greece. As one examines this remarkable piece, it is impossible not to be drawn into its intricate details and craftsmanship. The meticulous metalpoint work on the coin demonstrates the skillful artistry that went into its creation centuries ago. Preserved through time, this Tetradrachm stands as a symbol of power and wealth in antiquity. It offers us glimpses into an era when kings ruled with authority over vast territories and their coins served both practical purposes in trade and symbolic representations of their sovereignty. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this extraordinary relic from our past—a tangible link connecting us to an illustrious period in human history where empires clashed for dominance while leaving behind legacies that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
