Ancient coins put us directly in touch with a vanished world. When this bronze was first circulating in the Roman Empire, the classical age was in its sunset, and the Christian era was dawning. The citizens of that world, men and women of diverse cultural origins passed this coin hand to hand in the transactions of daily life. Each hand that touched it left a mark, an energy really, that is the aura of humanity. Centuries have passed, many great empires have come and gone, but the essentials of human existence remain the same. As we hold this simple token of another era in our hands today, we are linked with all those who have held it before. - (FJ.4500)
