This authentic ancient silver coin was minted during the rule of Severus Alexander. This stunning coin represents the splendor of ancient Roman art depicting Rome's military might and existence as the sole world superpower during most of its reign. The ancient silver coin possesses a high luster and makes for a gorgeous and rich contrast with the high polished 14K yellow gold setting. The reverse is shown with a perfect and exquisite depiction of the Roman god of war, MARS, marching forward with full battle armor and weapons. Inscribed around the perimeter are the Latin words 'MARS VLTOR' meaning "Mars, the Avenger".

How appropriate in today's world where nations that neglect the importance of a supreme military power are doomed to lose their freedoms and possibly very existence! The Roman Empire was one of the world's greatest societies. In its time, the world was a barbaric and cruel place. The Empire brought prosperity, freedom and peace to many regions of prior complete unrest and anarchy. This great society offered far more than any other society or foreign government which is why so many different ethnic peoples joined in its alliance. Unfortunately, with all great things, there is always those who are evil and bent on their jealousy to destroy the success of others. As applicable today as it was 2500 years ago, the only insurance to a peaceful society is the mighty protector of its superior military force to defend against all those who would challenge it. Rome knew this and lasted nearly 1500 years before its fall. Much can be learned in the lessons of history!
