EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin depicting Constantinople, created between 330-335 AD. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. On the obverse side of the coin, we witness a personification of the majestic city of Constantinople herself. This representation embodies the essence and spirit of one of history's greatest metropolises. The reverse side reveals the goddess Victory, symbolizing triumph and success. Minted in Constantinople, which is now known as modern-day Istanbul, this ancient Roman artifact holds immense historical significance. It serves as a tangible link to the glorious days of the Roman Empire and offers us a glimpse into their currency system during that era. The vibrant colors preserved on this silver coinage speak volumes about its craftsmanship and attention to detail. As we admire this piece within the Art Institute Chicago's collection dedicated to arts from ancient Rome and Byzantium, it becomes evident how art transcends time by preserving our heritage. This photograph captures not only an exquisite work of art but also represents an invaluable cultural treasure that connects us with our past. Through numismatics -the study or collection of coins- we can delve deeper into understanding ancient civilizations' economic systems while appreciating their artistic expressions. As we contemplate this image captured by an anonymous photographer at Heritage Images, let us marvel at both the beauty encapsulated within this small metal object and its profound significance in shaping human history.
