| Description |
In their images and inscriptions, ancient coins
record the dreams and ambitions of men, the
rise and fall of empires, the comings and goings
of royalty. Yet beyond this grand public history,
each coin has a more intimate, private tale to
tell. As we hold such tokens of the past in our
hands, we cannot help but wonder who first held
them centuries ago. Were they kings or
commoners? Where they soldiers, senators,
merchants or artists? This is the magic and
romance of such an object. In its presence, our
imagination flies freely down the corridors of
time. To wear this lovely pendant is to touch
directly upon the glories of the classical age.
