Roman Sestertius Coin Necklace - 200 AD - One of a Kind
In antiquity. Carry a piece of the past with you with this stunning oversized roman coin necklace.
This large Brass version of the Sestertius was first minted in 23 A.D. in a coin reform initiated by Emperor Augustus. This brass Sestertius weighs in the region of 26 grams, is around 1.25" in diameter and about a fifth inch thick.
