ROMAN REPUBLIC GOD ROMA WITH WINGED HELMET COIN PENDANT IN 14K YELLOW GOLD 116 - 115 B.C. This remarkable antiquity from the early days of the Roman Republic is an excellent example of the classic art style that dominated this magnificent ancient empire. The coin is in exquisite condition and is a rare silver denarius featuring the helmeted bust of the symbol of Rome, ROMA. Roma was the Roman Empire's mascot in much the same way as the Statue of Liberty or "Lady Liberty" is for America. Roma personified the beauty and might of Rome and is usually depicted wearing a helmet as shown here. The execution of art style and the youthful personality and vitality that this profile exudes is first rate! This coin is classic ancient Rome and is a superb example of ancient Roman art. The ancient silver of the coin possesses a high luster and makes for a gorgeous and rich contrast with the 14 karat yellow gold setting pendant setting in which it is mounted. The ancient key pattern design in the gold wonderfully compliments this genuine ancient coin. Of all the Roman coins featuring Roma, we have handled, this is one of the most beautiful examples, by far! Overall, a stunning genuine Roman antiquity from the early Roman Empire! The last photos shows the backside of the pendant and the back of the coin featuring Jupiter driving a galloping quadriga. Jupiter was considered one of the main protectors of the Empire. This side is shown for reference but the pendant is not meant to be worn outward on this side. Overall diameter is 27 mm, about the size between a U.S. quarter and 50 cent piece. The coin itself is about the size of a U.S. penny. CPR159 $1195 COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY / HISTORY SHEET *** shown with optional CHAIN E, not included |
