In antiquity. Carry a piece of the past with you with this stunning roman coin necklace. The coin is a genuine Roman silver piece was minted between 97 AD and 300 AD.

The Roman Silver Denarius is among the most iconic and sought coins in the eyes of ancient coin collectors. The denarius is a small coin, about the size of an American nickel, and had the value of 10 asses, indicated by the roman root word dēnī, or “containing ten”. The coin was considered by scholars to be Rome’s main coin, until it was replaced by the Antoninianus coin in the early 3rd century AD, a coin of reduced silver content.

While the value of the denarius changed with economic ups and downs of Rome’s history, scholars estimate that one denarius coin was sufficient to buy enough wheat for one legionnaire to bake a month’s worth of bread. 

We set this unique centuries-old piece in sterling so you can view both sides of the coin and we hung it on a modern sterling silver round link chain.
