€740,00
- • Handmade 100% Made in Italy • Authentic Silver Roman Coin 2nd cent.AD • Band material: Sterling Silver
An authentic Roman coin (2nd century AD) depicting the Emperor Hadrian was set in this sterling silver ring; on the reverse side of the coin we can see the personification of the goddess Moneta, with scales and cornucopia.
Hadrian is remembered for his travels, his building projects, and his efforts to tie together the far-flung outposts of the Roman empire. He was aesthetic and educated and left behind several poems. Signs of his reign remain in several buildings, including the Temple of Rome and Venus, and he rebuilt the Pantheon, which had been destroyed by fire during the reign of his predecessor.
His country residence, Villa Adriana, outside Rome is considered the architectural epitome of the opulence and elegance of the Roman world. Covering seven square miles, it was more a garden city than a villa, including baths, libraries, sculpture gardens, theaters, alfresco dining halls, pavilions, and private suites, portions of which survived to modern times. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. Hadrian's tomb, now called the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, became a burial place for succeeding emperors and was converted into a fortress in the 5th century.
All of our jewels are certified by a certificate of authenticity attesting their Greek or Roman origin!
