ROMAN ARISTOCRATIC LOOKING GOD ROMA WITH WINGED HELMET COIN PENDANT
IN 14K YELLOW GOLD
122 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 excellent preservation and is a silver denarius featuring the helmeted bust of the symbol
of Rome, the god 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! In this example, the die engraver
imparted extra personality in the god. Roma is shown with an
elegant, elongated face and classic "Roman nose" making for an elite air
of aristocracy - such pride in one of the world's greatest empires! 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. Overall, a stunning genuine Roman antiquity from
the early Roman Empire!
Overall diameter is a
very sizable 27 mm.
