This ancient coin is set in an 18 karat gold ring.
In their images and inscriptions, ancient coins record the dreams and ambitions of men, the rise and fall of empires, the comings and goings of royalty. Yet beyond this grand public history, each coin has a more intimate, private tale to tell. As we hold such tokens of the past in our hands, we cannot help but wonder who first held them centuries ago. Were they kings or commoners? Soldiers, scholars, merchants, artists? This is the magic and romance of such objects. This bronze coin was minted in the turbulent period of the tetrarchy, the triumphant dawn of the Christian age. To wear this coin today in its setting of brilliant gold is to set the imagination traveling on a wondrous journey of discovery.
