ROMAN CONSTANTINE COIN PENDANT

IN 14KY GOLD WITH STERLING SILVER DECORATION

3RD - 4TH CENTURY AD

An awesome example of the might of Rome.  This ancient Constantine Roman bronze coin dates from the 3rd - 4th century A. D. and features the reverse showing a Roman soldier dragging a defeated enemy.  Set in 14KY gold and sterling and measuring over 3/4" in diameter, the detail is fantastic and well-centered in this fine example of ancient Roman propaganda.  

The coin was issued under the rule of Constantine the Great, the first ruler of the Roman Empire to convert to Christianity.  Constantine the Great was encamped with his army at the Milvian Bridge, heavily outnumbered by the armies of his challenger Maxentius, across the river.  While Constantine prayed to one of his gods, he and many of his army troops who were with him, reported seeing a vision in the heavens above the sun of a trophy with a cross at its top and light surrounding it.  Simultaneously, they all heard a voice say, "Conquer by This." 

Highly recommended!
