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 Mn. Fonteius C.f in 85 BC in Rome. It pictures the laureate head of Apollo. Apollo was the god of music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and light, with his thunderbolt. On the back (reverse) is winged cupid, the god of love in all its varieties, astride a goat. 

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: The depth of Apollo's portrait on this amazing coin is truly wonderful - capturing the details of the die-cutter's art. Apollo, the god of truth and light, as well as many of the arts, is a legendary symbol now, as it was then. And, the thunderbolt appears in it's entirety. Even Cupid with his delicate wings is clearly visible.
