This print showcases a Tetradrachm (Coin) Depicting the God Dionysos, created by an unknown artist after 146 BCE. The image captures the essence of ancient Greece and its rich mythology. In this close-up shot, we see the head of Dionysos, the Greek god of wine and merriment, against a grey background. The coin itself is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient times. Its color and detail are beautifully preserved in this studio shot, allowing us to appreciate every intricate feature. Made from silver, this currency was once used in Thrace during the Roman Empire.

It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion and culture throughout history.
