EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reverse side of a coin depicting Pegasus, an iconic mythical beast from Corinth dating back to 700-300 BC. The image captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient metal artifact, now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The relief design on the coin features a majestic winged horse known as Pegasus, symbolizing power, grace, and divine inspiration. With its wings spread wide and head held high, Pegasus exudes a sense of freedom and strength that has captivated imaginations for centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of currency from ancient Corinth, we are transported back in time to an era where myth and reality intertwined. This coin serves as a tangible link to the rich cultural heritage of Greece and reminds us of their fascination with legendary creatures like Pegasus. The monnaie de Corinthe (Corinthian currency) not only served as a means of exchange but also carried symbolic significance. It represented the city's prosperity and influence throughout the region. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this ancient relic and its historical context within Greek society. It is a testament to human creativity across time that continues to inspire awe today.
