EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient Roman coin portraying Emperor Diocletian, minted between 302-303 AD. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The obverse side of the coin features a striking profile portrait of Emperor Diocletian himself, capturing his regal presence and commanding gaze. As one delves deeper into the details, it becomes evident that every stroke on this bronze artifact was meticulously crafted. On the reverse side, we are introduced to Genius, depicted holding a shallow dish known as a patera. This symbolizes prosperity and abundance under Diocletian's reign. Minted in Augusta Treverorum (modern Trier), this piece not only represents currency but also serves as an artistic testament to the rich heritage of Ancient Rome. Displayed within the prestigious Art Institute Chicago's collection, this photograph transports viewers back in time to witness the grandeur and opulence associated with Roman royalty. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring life to an era long gone by. As we admire this rare numismatic treasure, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with our past. It is through such artifacts that we gain insight into historical figures like Emperor Diocletian and their impact on society at large.
