Collection: Roman Bronze Coin Pendant
Medium: Bronze/Gold
Additional Information: This magnificent coin is set in an 18-karat gold pendant.
When Rome was at the height of her glory, citizens of her empire used this sesterius to purchase the necessities and the luxuries of life. Who were those people that held this coin between their fingers, and in what way did it enrich their lives? It almost seems as if the glow of their touch still radiates from the surface of the bronze. To wear this token of the Classical age today is to add our own chapter to its long and varied story; it is to become part of the unbroken chain of the human past. - (FJ.2667)
