Roman Republic Silver Denarius 100 BC Pendant with Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and warfare

Please Note: This is an authentic Ancient Roman Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.

FOR PENDANT SIZE SEE COIN DETAILS BELOW

Before the Roman Empire, there was the Roman Republic… where ancient Rome was ruled by the powerful Senate and moneyers were responsible for creating the coins used by the citizens of this rising power.

This silver coin, a Denaruis, was minted by moneyer P. Servilius Rullus in 100 BC in Rome. On the Front (obverse) It pictures Minerva wearing a crested Corinthian helmet. Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, justice, law, victory, the arts, trade, and strategy. On the back (reverse) is Victory, the goddess of victory in battle and over death, driving a biga (a sporty, two-horse chariot).

Our ancient coin pendants are a favorite of history fans, students, travel buffs and teachers… and anyone with a love of the past. Our Roman jewelry is designed to be worn by men or women will accommodate both large and small chain and leather necklaces.

April's Notes: Here you see the legendary Minerva with her distinctive Corinthian helmet. A beautiful, center strike on this Denaruis. And, Victory's horses are also stunning in their detail.

Perhaps best of all, it is what we call almost "zero die axis." When these coins were struck, the minters didn't care if the top of one side of the coin was also the top on the other side - what we call "Medallic Orientation." This coin is one of the rare ones you can wear it either side out. 

(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.
