Coin of Prusias I & II c. 238

Editor: This is a coin from Prusias I and II. It feels weighty, in a historical sense. It's been touched by so many hands. What secrets do you think it holds? Curator: Ah, a tangible whisper from the past. For me, it's less about secrets and more about echoes. Can you imagine the markets where it changed hands? The decisions, the transactions, both grand and mundane, it silently witnessed? Editor: That's so cool! It makes me wonder about the ruler on the coin, Prusias II himself. Curator: Indeed. Consider his gaze, now softened by time, yet once imbued with the power to command an entire kingdom. What does his expression tell you about his reign? It invites us to ponder the very nature of authority and its ephemeral dance with history. Editor: I never thought a little coin could say so much. Curator: That's the magic, isn't it? A humble artifact, yet a portal to another world.
