EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 55 BCE, depicting the mighty God Mars. Created by an unknown artist during the 1st century BC in ancient Rome, this remarkable piece of art is now housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The image captures a close-up view of the coin against a grey background, emphasizing its intricate details and historical significance. The obverse side of the coin reveals Mars himself, wearing his iconic helmet and armor as symbols of war and power. His stern expression exudes strength and determination, embodying the Roman ideals of military might. The letterbox format allows for a panoramic view that enhances our appreciation for this ancient artifact. As we delve into its rich context, we are transported back to ancient Italy when this currency was used as legal tender. This denarius served not only as a means of exchange but also as a representation of religious beliefs and cultural heritage. Through this image, we witness how art can transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, the influence and legacy of Roman mythology continue to captivate our imagination today.
