The patrician family of the Catos helped shape the history and the values of the Roman Republic. This radiant token of the Classical world was minted during the consulship of Marcus Porcius Cato. It depicts a graceful female head, identified as the goddess Roma, on one side, with winged Victory shown seated on the other. The people who held it when it was newly minted were witness to an exciting age of history. Whoever wears it today in its golden frame will surely make a little history of their own. - (FJ.3028)
