| Description |
This genuine Ancient Roman silver coin of
Emperor Vespasian has been mounted in a
stunning modern 18 Karat gold ring.
T. Flavius Vespasianus was barn at Falacrina in
A.D. 9, the son of Flavius Sabinus, a tax
collector, and Vespasia Polla. Despite his humble
origins, his military skill carried him to a series
of important posts, and he commanded part of
the forces which invaded Britain under Claudius.
In A.D. 67 Nero appointed him to quell the Jewish
rebellion, and he pursued the war successfully
during the troubled period following Nero's
death. On July 1, A.D. 69 the legions at
Alexandria proclaimed Vespasian Emperor. The
Danubian legions scan followed suit and invaded
Italy, defeating the forces of the Emperor
Vitellius at the battle of Cremona. Vespasian
reached Rome in A.D. 70 and quickly set about
repairing the damages to the State caused by the
civil war. He proved to be a just and industrious
ruler and 'conditions scan improved. Vespasian
died on June 24th, 79 and was deified by the
Senate.
Though his origins were humble, Vespasian rose
to the throne of Rome through a combination of
talent, ambition and luck. A superb strategist and
capable statesman, Vespasian renewed the glory
of the Roman Empire after the turmoil of Nero’s
reign. Those qualities that made him a great
ruler seem evident even in this small imperial
portrait. The individual who wears this splendid
ring today is certain to share important traits
with Vespasian. This radiant jewel will certainly
announce to the world that the wearer has
arrived.
