EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Quinarius coin from ancient Rome, dating back to around 97 BCE. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its already fascinating subject matter. The coin depicts the revered god Apollo, known as the sun god in Roman mythology. With a grey background that enhances its metallic shine, the close-up image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient currency. As we delve into the rich history behind this artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when coins were not only symbols of wealth and commerce but also served as powerful religious icons. This particular Quinarius carries immense cultural significance as it represents both financial value and divine worship. The artistry displayed on this silver coin is truly awe-inspiring. Apollo's head dominates the obverse side with his serene expression and flowing locks, embodying grace and beauty. Its letterbox format adds a unique touch to the composition while emphasizing its historical authenticity. Displayed within an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this photograph invites viewers to explore the arts of ancient Mediterranean civilizations through numismatics—an intriguing blend of finance, religion, and artistic expression. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with antiquity and our desire to preserve these remnants of human heritage for generations to come.
