This 18K gold necklace features a silver denarius of Empress Faustina I, minted in Rome between the years 146 and 161 AD. Faustina I was a cultured and intelligent woman who was highly regarded by her husband, Emperor Antoninus Pius, and often consulted on state matters. She was a revered empress, beloved by the people for her social initiatives, such as the creation of a school for girls.
The coin depicts the profile of the empress on one side and a temple with Faustina facing forward on the other side.
In Ancient Rome, it was common for women to wear jewellery with coins as amulets.

Our antiques are always genuine, never replicas, and come with a certificate of authenticity.
The gold chain is included. Length: 44cm with another ring to adjust also to 38cm. For other sizes, please contact us.
