Silver Denarius of Emperor Commodus - C.5824Origin: MediterraneanCirca: 191 ADCollection: NumismaticsStyle: RomanMedium: Silver.Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus was born on August 31, 161 A.D. to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Faustina Junior. Of their thirteen children, he was the only boy to survive early childhood, thus making him the logical heir to the throne. He was appointed as Caesar at the age of five and was officially presented to the army at the age of twelve in 173 A.D. Two years later, young Commodus was named Princeps Ivventis and coopted in the college of priests. Next, he accompanied his father on a victorious military campaign against the Germans and the Sarmatians. In 177 A.D., the title of Augustus was bestowed upon him and he was lofted to the position of co-ruler alongside his father. That same year, he was married to Crispina, the daughter of one of the dutiful generals on the Sarmatian campaign. The next year, Commodus embarked upon another German campaign that ended with a favorable peace shortly after his father’s death in 180 A.D. Soon afterward, a Senatorial plot was uncovered and suppressed in 182 A.D. Implicated in the conspiracy were both his wife Crispina and his sister Lucilla, both of whom would be exiled to Capri. Ten years later, on December 31, 192 A.D., Commodus was murdered.   « Less

The rendering of the zodiac in the extraordinary painting entitled zodiac is highlighted with each character's distinctive identity and influence. The Libra figure centers the piece, dramatically demonstrating her inherent need for balance, justice and harmony in all things. This is also the sign of the artist due to the creative qualities inherent in this complex member of the zodiac. Another prominent sign is Cancer, personified here as a Madonna figure, her heavenly appearance emphasizing her nurturing and highly feminine characteristics. The sign of Gemini is also personified as female in this painting, in the form of twins who represent the duality of Gemini. Whereas the female Cancer is portrayed as demure and sublime, the Gemini females are seductive and restless. Yet another sign of the zodiac appears as a bull, representing the powerful sign of Taurus. As our eyes meander through the images in the painting, we see each of the twelve signs, their powerful depictions a clear reminder of the magic, cyclical process by which primordial energy passes from spirit to matter, from the non-formal world to the world of forms and then returning again along that same never-ending spherical path. - (EW.0005) Dimensions: 30" (76.2cm) high x 40" (101.6cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Panel   « Less
