Rome! Perhaps more than any culture, we are fascinated by the legend and lore of this breathtaking ancient empire. Much of how we live and what we think in our Western world was birthed in the fabled cities and byways of this sprawling empire.

Hadrian... strong, proud and capable. He vowed upon his ascension to the all-powerful Emperorship to strengthen the Roman Empire he loved. Noted for his momentous decision to halt Rome's territorial gains in favor of strengthening and protecting the now sprawling Roman Empire, he did what he set out to do, often calling on his love of architecture and the arts to do it.

But it is, perhaps, his building projects that have made him one of the most noted Roman Emperors of all time. From the imposing and amazingly ambitious "Hadrian's Wall" in the North of England, to the Pantheon in Rome, to vast aqueducts and stunning temples throughout his empire, Hadrian literally "cemented" is place in history.

April's Notes: Hadrian is, by any standard, one of the most fascinating historical figures of all time. A man of arts, architecture and vision, we gaze upon his impressive building projects in wonder to this day.

This denarius is deeply struck and has an eye-appealing shape. The image of Hadrian is classic and resolute. He is accompanied by Victory on the reverse, who is regally seated on a throne. Roma was the personification – the representation - of the city of Rome, where this coin was minted. In her hand she holds the wreath - a symbol of power and victory.

(Please note: this information and much more will appear on your customized Certificate of Authenticity.)

Each ancient Roman coin was hand-struck by three people, and at the height of the Roman empire, coins were minted throughout the sprawling territories – even in military camps where coins were minted to pay soldiers. Lost or purposely hoarded, this ancient Roman Coin was discovered by metal detector and professionally conserved for a lifetime of enjoyment.
