Inspired by my recent trip to beautiful Sicily, the coins depicted in the print represent ancient coins from the island of Ortygia, which was part of the city of Syracuse in Sicily. In Greek times, Sicily was an important cultural and economic center, and Syracuse was one of the most prosperous cities in the region, which allowed it to issue its own unique coins.
Sicilian coins are fascinating evidence of the meeting of cultures that took place in Sicily throughout history. The coins from Ortigia, in particular, represent the uniqueness of the city, which was known as an important commercial and artistic center in the Mediterranean. The duplication of Greek symbols alongside other cultural influences makes the coins a kind of "window" into an ancient world, rich in mythology and art. The print brings the beauty of these ancient coins to your home with touches of gold and delicate details.
