Description
When we hold such a coin, a token of Rome's Golden Age, our imagination takes flight. The people who first held it centuries ago were witnesses to history, to events, which changed the course of the world forever. Though theirs was a style of life very different from our own, their hopes, dreams and passions were no doubt remarkably similar. The glow of their touch still lingers about this Sestertius. To wear it today is to link us directly with the classical past. - (FJ.2919)
