EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of four silver drachms minted during the reign of King Antiochus III, a prominent monarch from 241 to 187 BC. The coins bear the majestic profile of Antiochus on one side, symbolizing his authority and power as a ruler. On the other side, we find an enchanting depiction of Apollo, the revered deity associated with music, arts, and prophecy. Minted at Seleucis-on-the-Tiber, an ancient city known for its rich history and cultural significance, these coins serve as tangible artifacts that connect us to a bygone era. Their intricate design and remarkable preservation offer glimpses into both religious beliefs and financial systems prevalent during this period. The image captures not only the regal aura surrounding King Antiochus III but also highlights his association with divine entities like Apollo. This amalgamation of religion and monarchy underscores how rulers often sought legitimacy through their perceived connection to gods or goddesses. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this print transports us back in time to witness the grandeur of antiquity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating lasting symbols of power, wealth, and spirituality – reminders that continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
