EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Sestertius of Vibia Sabina. Crafted in bronze during the 2nd century AD, this ancient Roman coin is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Siena, Tuscany, Italy. The image beautifully captures the profile bust of Vibia Sabina, an influential Roman Empress and wife to Emperor Hadrian. Vibia Sabina's significance lies not only in her role as empress but also as Hadrian's second cousin once removed. This connection adds depth to her story and highlights the intricate web of relationships within Roman society at that time. The detailed sculpture on this currency portrays Vibia Sabina with elegance and grace. Her regal features are immortalized through this art form, allowing us to catch a glimpse into ancient Rome's rich cultural heritage. Photographer Nicolo Orsi Battaglini expertly captures every nuance and texture of this historical artifact. Through his lens, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and its enduring value as a symbol of power and wealth. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era where coins were not just mere currency but also works of art that conveyed political messages and celebrated individuals like Vibia Sabina.
