EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gold tetradrachm from the 3rd century BC, minted during the tumultuous first Punic War. The obverse side of this ancient coin features the exquisite head of Tanit, an enigmatic deity often associated with Persephone and revered as the moon goddess. With her delicate profile facing left, she exudes an aura of divine power and feminine grace. The craftsmanship evident in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this golden treasure, we are transported back in time to an era when coins were not just a means of currency but also objects imbued with religious symbolism. Tanit's presence on this coin serves as a reminder that even amidst war and conflict, people sought solace in their faith. This gold tetradrachm represents more than mere monetary value; it embodies the devotion and spirituality of ancient Greece. Through this photograph by CM Dixon, we are granted a glimpse into the past - a world where gods and goddesses held sway over daily life, where money was infused with sacred meaning. It is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that such artifacts have survived through centuries for us to marvel at today.
