Denarius of Ti. Minucius C.f. Augurinus, Rome c. 134

Editor: This Denarius of Ti. Minucius C.f. Augurinus from Rome is quite small, and the images are a bit worn, but the figures are still visible. What stands out to you about the composition? Curator: The composition leverages a duality. We have a female figure on one side, a likely deity, and then on the other, two male figures flanking a column. Do you see how the symmetry creates balance? Editor: Yes, I see it, that balance gives it a sense of formal order despite the small size. Thanks. Curator: Indeed. It's a testament to the engraver's skill that such detail and balance are achievable on such a small scale.
