EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient history - the portrait of Emperor Augustus on the reverse side of a coin belonging to Julia, his daughter. The image, captured by an anonymous Roman artist in the 1st century BC, is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Emperor Augustus, born in 63BC and reigning until 14AD, was one of Rome's most influential leaders. His reign marked the beginning of Pax Romana (Roman Peace), a period characterized by stability and prosperity within the empire. This portrait captures his regal profile with striking precision and attention to detail. The coin itself holds immense historical significance as it not only features Augustus but also bears witness to his deep affection for his daughter Julia. By immortalizing her father's likeness on her own currency, she proudly proclaimed their familial bond and showcased her connection to power. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back through time to an era when emperors ruled with authority and coins served as tangible symbols of wealth and influence. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these artifacts continue to captivate us with their beauty and tell stories that transcend generations.
