EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Solidus (Coin) of Honorius, dating back to 405. Crafted by an unknown creator, this coin is a testament to the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of the ancient Mediterranean region. The image captures the intricate details of this Roman currency, highlighting its rich history and cultural significance. Made from precious gold, it reflects both the financial power and political propaganda prevalent during Emperor Honorius' reign. The profile portrait of Emperor Honorius adorns one side of the coin, depicting his regal stature and royal lineage. This striking figure symbolizes authority and sovereignty in an era marked by imperial rule. As we delve into this piece at The Art Institute of Chicago's exhibition on arts of the ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium, we are transported back in time to witness a tangible connection with our past. It serves as a reminder that art transcends generations, preserving stories for future generations to explore. Through this photograph, we gain insight into not only Rome's historical legacy but also their advanced metalworking techniques. The vibrant colors bring life to an object that once circulated through countless hands as a medium of exchange in daily transactions. This print invites us to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its profound cultural value - reminding us how coins can encapsulate centuries worth of heritage within their small metallic frames.
