| Description |
A complex and fascinating personality, Caracalla
reigned in the waning years of Rome’s golden
age. A member of the powerful Severan dynasty,
he is most famous today for the elaborate baths
he built in Rome itself. Caracalla's proud,
arrogant image makes a strong impression on
this silver coin. Such a token seems to epitomize
the glory and grandeur that was Rome. Those
who first held it were witness to history; those
who wear it today will create a little history on
their own. This ancient coin was found in
Emessa, Syria and has been mounted in a
modern 18 karat gold pendant.
