EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from ancient Rome, dating back to approximately 55 BCE. The coin depicts the Genius Populi Romani, a personification of the Roman people's spirit and creativity. Crafted by an unknown artist, this remarkable piece of currency offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of the Roman Empire. The image features a close-up view of the obverse side of the coin against a grey background. In exquisite detail, we see the profile head of a young man with striking features, symbolizing youth and vitality. His hair is neatly arranged in curls while his gaze exudes confidence and intelligence. Adding to its allure, an eagle perches atop his head as a powerful symbol representing strength and authority. This bird of prey captures our attention with its fierce yet majestic presence. The Denarius itself shines brightly in silver metal, reflecting light onto its intricate design. Its letterbox format allows for optimal appreciation of every element within this miniature work of art. As we admire this ancient artifact preserved through time, it serves as both a reminder and testament to Rome's cultural heritage and enduring legacy. The Art Institute Chicago proudly presents this photograph as part of their collection on arts from Ancient Mediterranean civilizations - allowing visitors to delve into history through visual storytelling at its finest.
