This ancient coin is set in an 18 karat gold ring.

As a son and heir of Constantine the great, Constantius II was among the first emperors of Rome to follow the Christian faith. The age in which this coin first circulated was a time of transition, marking the sunset of the classical world and the dawn of the Christian era. Who might have held it and used it then? A centurion in the roman legions? A Christian senator at the imperial court? A scholar in the library at Beirut? We can never know for certain that intimate part of a coin's past, yet when we hold it as others did so long ago, we connect directly with their vanished world.
