diademed bust of Honorius 

Editor: Here we have a small coin, a diademed bust of Honorius, from the Harvard Art Museums. It’s weathered, isn’t it? I wonder, what stories does it whisper to you? Curator: It whispers of power, Emily! Honorius, Roman Emperor, captured in miniature. Imagine the hands it has passed through! Look at the detail, even worn. It’s a tangible link to a world long gone. What do *you* hear it whispering? Editor: I think I hear a plea for preservation, to remember names that would otherwise be lost to time. It's humbling, truly. Curator: Precisely! Art as legacy, a whisper across millennia.
