EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dupondius coin portraying Emperor Domitian, dating back to the year 85. Created by an unknown artist during the 1st century AD in ancient Rome, this bronze coin is a remarkable piece of currency from the Flavian Dynasty. The close-up image beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient artifact. The coin features a striking portrait of Emperor Domitian, also known as Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus. His regal presence and commanding gaze are highlighted against a grey background, emphasizing his status as ruler of the Roman Empire. This panoramic letterbox format allows us to fully appreciate every aspect of this historical treasure. As we delve into history through art, it is fascinating to examine how coins were not only used for commerce but also served as symbols of power and authority. This particular Dupondius offers us a glimpse into the financial system and artistic expression prevalent during that era. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium collection, this photograph preserves an important part of our heritage. It reminds us that even small objects like coins can carry immense historical significance and provide valuable insights into past civilizations. With its rich coloration and meticulous attention to detail, this studio shot brings forth both admiration for ancient Roman artistry and curiosity about its mysterious creator.
