Vintage Roman Sestertius Coin Pendant, Italian

A bold gold coin pendant inspired by an ancient Roman sestertius, depicting Roma, the female personification of Rome itself. She is shown seated on a shield and holding a small figure of Victory in her outstretched hand, surrounded by the inscription ROMA AETERNA — “Eternal Rome.” It is classic Roman propaganda in miniature: strength, victory, and the idea that Rome would endure forever. Roma was not simply a goddess, though; she embodied the Roman state. During the Imperial period, her image appeared frequently on coins and monuments, often helmeted and armed, reinforcing Rome’s military power and authority throughout the empire. We love the worn gold feel and look of this piece! 18kt Yellow Gold 1.19" in diameter 14.8 Grams Please see the qualitative report for more information.
