Details

Authentic silver denarius coin minted circa 114-113 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold with braided calfskin bracelet.
Handmade in Rome.

History

The obverse of this denarius features a striking bust of Roma, the personification of the Eternal City, adorned with a laurel wreath, diadem, and draped mantle. This depiction emphasises Roma’s divine protection, military strength, and the ideals of victory and authority that defined the Roman Republic. A mark of value to the left denotes its denomination, ensuring clarity in circulation.

On the reverse, an equestrian statue stands proudly atop a triumphal arch, accompanied by the inscription MAN AEMILIO LEP, identifying the moneyer, Mn. Aemilius Lepidus. The triumphal arch likely references the achievements of the Aemilii, one of Rome’s most distinguished patrician families. Such monuments were erected to commemorate military victories, serving as enduring symbols of Rome’s martial dominance and the honour bestowed upon victorious generals.

The imagery on this coin reflects both the personal legacy of the moneyer’s family and the broader themes of Roman civic pride and military prowess. Roma, as the guardian of the Republic, reminds the bearer of the state’s resilience, while the triumphal arch underscores the glory of Rome’s military conquests.

Care

Each ancient coin and artefact used in our jewellery has been restored and professionally stabilised to ensure it can be enjoyed for lifetimes. Patina, the natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not dirt; it is a protective layer formed over hundreds of years, adding to the coin’s unique history. Conservation efforts aim to stabilise and preserve these valuable patinas whenever possible. Silver naturally tones over time, developing a soft to deep grey with brighter highlights on raised surfaces. This toning is highly coveted, adding a touch of age and beauty to the coin’s details that only time can provide.
