About the Item

A genuine silver denarius struck in Rome under Commodus, c. AD 180, honoring the deified emperor Marcus Aurelius. The obverse presents his bare head, serene in profile; the reverse shows an eagle standing on a globe, wings spread—a powerful symbol of apotheosis, the emperor’s soul ascending to the heavens. This coin, over 1,800 years old, is hand-set in a custom 18k yellow gold bezel, hammered and polished to the coin’s natural contours. The bezel’s subtle gleam frames the ancient silver without overwhelming it, transforming a rare piece of Roman history into timeless, wearable art. Details Origin: Rome, c. AD 180 Emperor: Divus Marcus Aurelius (posthumous issue under Commodus) Denomination: Silver Denarius Obverse: Bare head of Marcus Aurelius right Reverse: Eagle on globe, wings open Diameter: ~19 mm Weight: 4 g Material: Ancient silver, set in solid 18k gold Chain Includes a sterling silver chain (18, 20, or 24 inches). 14k and 18k gold chain upgrades available upon request.
