EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Roman coin portraying Julia Domna, the influential empress of the Severan dynasty. Created by an unknown artist before 217 AD, this bronze coin is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of ancient Rome. The close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details of Julia's regal profile on the obverse side. Her head, adorned with elegant jewelry and a crown, exudes power and grace. The color palette adds depth to her image against a subtle grey background, making her presence even more striking. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artifact from centuries past invites viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty and history of ancient Mediterranean civilizations. As one explores this piece among other arts of that era, it becomes evident how currency served as both a symbol of wealth and a means for artistic expression. Julia Domna's portrayal on this coin reflects not only her status as empress but also celebrates women's influence during that period. This studio-shot photograph preserves every detail meticulously crafted by its anonymous creator so many years ago. As we admire this rare glimpse into Roman culture through numismatic artistry, let us appreciate how such objects connect us to our collective human history while reminding us of their enduring value beyond mere currency.
