EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact known as the "Coin Depicting the Amazon Cyme" dating back to around 250 BCE. Created by an unknown artist, this bronze coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Ancient Greece. The image features a close-up view of the coin, displaying intricate details and vibrant colors against a grey background. At its center, we see the powerful figure of an equestrian female warrior, symbolizing strength and courage. Mounted on her horse with grace and determination, she embodies the spirit of war and represents one of Greek mythology's legendary Amazons. The coin's letterbox format allows for a panoramic view that immerses viewers in this ancient world. Its metal composition serves as a testament to its historical significance as both currency and art object during that time period. Preserved within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, this piece is part of their Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium exhibit at their renowned art centre. It stands as a reminder of our shared heritage and invites contemplation on concepts such as finance, country, and currency throughout history. As we gaze upon this enigmatic creation from centuries ago, we are reminded once again that even though its creator remains unknown to us today, their artistic legacy lives on through these timeless artifacts.
