EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Contorniate representing Apuleius, an influential figure from ancient Rome. Dating back to the 4th-5th century AD, this bronze medallion offers a glimpse into the rich history of Roman culture. The obverse side of the medallion presents a profile portrait of Apuleius himself, capturing his intellectual prowess as both a philosopher and writer. As one of the most prominent Platonic philosophers of his time, Apuleius's contributions to literature were highly regarded. His works encompassed various genres including poetry and novels, making him an esteemed author in Roman society. On the reverse side of the medallion, we are presented with a striking depiction of a soldier standing before an elaborate temple. This imagery symbolizes bravery and strength while also highlighting the importance of religion in ancient Rome. With its intricate details and historical significance, this Contorniate represents not only Apuleius but also serves as a testament to the literary achievements and cultural values that shaped Roman civilization. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this piece is now out of copyright allowing us to appreciate its beauty without any restrictions or limitations.
