EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases five ancient Roman coins, each depicting different gods - Janus, Jupiter, Mercury, and Minerva. The coins date back to a remarkable period spanning from 753 BC to 476 AD. Janus, the two-faced god of beginnings and transitions, is depicted on one of the coins. His dual nature symbolizes his ability to look into both the past and future simultaneously. Jupiter, the king of all gods in Roman mythology, is represented on another coin with his regal presence and thunderbolt in hand. Mercury, known as the messenger of the gods and associated with commerce and trade, graces yet another coin. Finally, Minerva - goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare tactics, arts and crafts - appears on one more coin. These ancient currencies not only served as a means for economic exchange but also carried significant cultural symbolism through their depictions of revered deities. They provide us with a glimpse into Roman society's values during that time. The photograph captures these historical artifacts beautifully while highlighting their intricate details. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations through artistry preserved over centuries.
