Emperor Valerian Coin Bracelet

On the obverse, the radiate crown symbolises his status as a god-like figure and aligns with the Sol Invictus imagery often used to reinforce imperial authority. The dignified portrait communicates the virtues of leadership and continuity amidst chaos.

The reverse features the inscription FELICITAS AVGG, with "AVGG" denoting the plural, referring to the joint rule of Valerian and his son Gallienus as co-emperors. The reverse design showcases Felicitas, the Roman goddess of good fortune and prosperity, standing to the left. She holds a caduceus, a symbol of peace and commerce, and a cornucopiae, representing abundance and the emperor's provision for the Roman people. This imagery was meant to reassure citizens of the empire's stability and prosperity under Valerian's rule, despite the numerous crises of the time.

Each ancient coin and artefact featured in our jewellery has been meticulously restored and professionally stabilised, ensuring it can be cherished for generations. The patina, a natural toning and oxidation on silver, bronze, and copper coins, is not merely dirt; it is a protective layer that has formed over centuries, contributing to the coin's unique history and character. Our conservation efforts focus on preserving these valuable patinas to maintain the authenticity and beauty of each piece. The rich patina, with its spectrum of dark to golden brown hues, is a testament to the coin's journey through time, making each one uniquely beautiful.
