EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Aureus coin from the 1st century AD, portraying Emperor Domitian. Issued by Domitian himself, this ancient Roman currency piece is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. The unknown creator has beautifully captured the intricate details of this historical artifact. In close-up view against a grey background, the golden coin shines with a timeless allure. The profile of Emperor Domitian takes center stage, his regal countenance exuding power and authority. With meticulous precision, every line and contour on his face is etched onto the metal surface. The letterbox format adds a cinematic touch to this image, drawing viewers into the world of ancient Rome. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art in an art gallery at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold. This Aureus serves as both a symbol of wealth and an embodiment of Roman culture. It represents not only financial value but also artistic expression within its limited space. Through this photograph, we can appreciate how coins were not merely means for trade but also vehicles for showcasing imperial propaganda. As we marvel at this rare glimpse into our past, it reminds us that even small objects like coins hold immense historical significance. They connect us to distant civilizations and remind us of their enduring legacy in shaping our present-day world.
