Editor: Here we have a Follis of Licinius II. The artwork provides a glimpse into the past, doesn't it? The images on each side are in profile, and it makes me wonder about the stories it could tell about the Roman Empire. What do you make of this coin? Curator: It whispers tales of power, doesn't it? I see the weight of an empire balanced on this small disk, consider the portrait, the emperor's idealized image, a carefully crafted message circulated far and wide. What kind of message do you think it sent? Editor: That's fascinating. I guess it's a reminder that even the smallest things can carry huge significance. Curator: Precisely! It makes you ponder the ingenuity and far-reaching goals of the ancients.
