Anonymous Follis 

Curator: Well, isn't this intriguing? It's an Anonymous Follis currently held at the Harvard Art Museums, and its exact age...is a delightful mystery. Editor: It looks like time itself has smudged its features. The corrosion gives it such a primal feel, like holding a little piece of forgotten history. Curator: Exactly! The imagery is faded, but you can still make out figures... Perhaps a religious figure, or a ruler, signaling power and authority even in anonymity. Editor: The coin's very roundness speaks to cycles, to the ebb and flow of fortune. To think of all the hands it must have passed through, the transactions witnessed. Curator: It's a poignant reminder that even the smallest objects carry echoes of grander narratives, and that even without a signature, the stories endure. Editor: Absolutely, and in its worn state, it's achieved something that feels almost holy. The weight of untold tales—quite moving.
