Radiate Fraction of Galerius, Heraclea 295 - 296

Editor: Here we have "Radiate Fraction of Galerius, Heraclea," a bronze coin, probably dating back to the times of Roman Emperor Galerius. It’s easy to overlook something so small, but what stories do you think it whispers? Curator: Ah, the quiet poetry of a coin! For me, it’s about touch, isn't it? The thumb of a Roman citizen, the weight of imperial power… Can you imagine all the hands it has passed through? What was bought, what was sold? Editor: That's a lovely thought! The journey is more important than the object. So, what did you learn? Curator: I'm reminded that even the smallest objects carry echoes of enormous histories. What about you? Editor: That the ordinary things can be extraordinary!
