As a gift to the people of Rome, Caracalla built the magnificent baths, which still impress visitors today. In Antiquity, the baths were a place where people gathered for relaxation, business, and gossip. In the best imperial tradition, Caracalla spared no expense, adorning the vast complex with rare and costly materials, and filling its corridors with great works of art. In this dramatic necklace, Caracalla is once again surrounded by precious beauty. A coin bearing his image is set amid the dark richness of onyx and the bright gleam of gold. Whiter worn for business or pleasure, this lovely jewel is certain to be at the heart of the conversation. - (FJ.1440)
