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. CPR101 SOLD COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY / HISTORY SHEET *** shown with optional CHAIN A, not included |
