EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin from the era of Attila, King of the Huns. Engraved by an English artist in the 19th century, this piece is now part of a private collection. Attila, also known as the "Scourge of God" was a powerful and feared ruler who reigned over the Huns from 434 to 453 AD. The coin itself serves as a fascinating glimpse into history, depicting Attila's portrait with great detail and precision. As one gazes upon it, they are transported back to the fifth century when this barbarian king held immense power and influence. The image captures Attila's commanding presence - his stern expression exudes authority while his regal attire signifies his status as a ruler. The engraving beautifully highlights every intricate feature on this ancient artifact, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. Attila's legacy is further emphasized by the Latin inscription "Flagellum Dei" or "Scourge of God". This title reflects both fear and reverence for his military prowess and ruthless conquests. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded that art has the ability to transcend time and bring history alive. It allows us to connect with past civilizations and gain insight into their culture, politics, and leaders like Attila – whose impact on European history cannot be overstated.
