EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact, a coin portraying Emperor Constantine I from 318 AD. Created by an unknown artist, this bronze coin is a testament to the rich history of Ancient Rome and its powerful rulers. Minted in Londinium, which we now know as modern-day London, it serves as a tangible link between the past and present. The front side of the coin features a striking portrait of Emperor Constantine I himself. With his regal profile and commanding presence, he embodies the authority and grandeur associated with Roman emperors. On the reverse side, we find an intricate depiction of the sun deity Sol - symbolizing power and divinity. As we delve into this piece at the Art Institute Chicago's exhibition on arts of ancient Mediterranean civilizations, it becomes evident that numismatics is not merely about currency but also about preserving historical narratives. This particular artifact sheds light on both religious beliefs during that era and their integration within imperial iconography. Through this photograph print captured by Heritage Images, viewers are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in human civilization. It reminds us of our connection to those who came before us while emphasizing the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
