Details

Authentic Roman silver denarius coin minted circa A.D. 210-211 set in 18K yellow gold and aventurine base ring.

Handmade in Rome, each piece is unique.

History

Lucius Septimius Severus was born in 145 A.D. in Lepcis Magna, Libya, and was the first African-born Roman emperor. Minted in the final years of his reign, the coin features sharp detailing, evident in the precision of Severus' features.

He arrived in Rome shortly after turning 18 and was swiftly made a senator by Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Severus is credited with strengthening and revitalising an empire facing imminent decline. He eliminated the dangerous praetorians, unified the empire after periods of turmoil and civil war, strengthened the army, defeated Rome’s most powerful enemy, and founded a successful dynasty. He worked to assert the authority of the emperor, projecting an image of a strong, decisive ruler. This authority is symbolised by his adornment with the laurel wreath.

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.
