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 Denarius, was minted by moneyer L. Furius Brocchus in 63 BC in Rome. It pictures the bust of Ceres flanked by ears of grain. Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and motherhood. On the back (reverse) is a curule chair, a type of folding chair used in Ancient Rome and still used to this day.  

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: This coin is a classic example of early Roman coinage. It was passed through countless hands - Roman soldiers and citizens whose lives live on through their coins.

As is clear, the best feature of this lovely Denarius is the clear portrait of Ceres - who is rather rare for Republic Denarii. The Goddess of Motherhood, here is a wonderful, deep strike with good detail.

Note the “Banker’s Marks” circled in red. These marks were made by bankers or merchants who were testing to see if the coin was counterfeit - just copper, with a thin silver wash. They took a small tool and hammered it into the coin to see if the metal below the surface was also silver. It was. Just another day in the Roman Republic!

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.
