As of Volusian c. 3th century

Editor: Here we have "As of Volusian," a fascinatingly corroded coin by Volusian. It feels like a tangible link to the past. What do you make of it? Curator: It's a whisper from history, isn't it? The wear and tear tell their own story. I see the ghost of an emperor's portrait on one side, a goddess perhaps on the other. Editor: It's incredible to think of the hands this passed through. Curator: Exactly! Each scratch, each imperfection… a tiny novel etched in metal. This isn't just currency; it's a relic of power, trade, and everyday life, all swirled into one. Editor: I never thought of a coin as a tiny novel. Curator: Think of it! And what stories it could tell... it's humbling, truly humbling. Editor: I’ll definitely look at coins differently now. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! It’s all about finding the magic in the mundane.
