About the Item

Gorgeous large Roman sestertius from the Third Century AD. This coin has lovely toning and dark patina. I purchased it from one of Britain's premier ancient coin dealers. To appreciate the pendant's size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter (will post soon). The coin was first set in a gold bezel, which was then hammered over the edge of both sides. This was then sanded and polished. This pendant is built to last. Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin -- Coin information: Gordian III - Nikopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior, Gordian III Obverse: AYT K M ANT ΓOΡΔIANOC AVΓ, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right Reverse: VΠ CAB MOΔECTOV NIKOΠOΛEITΩN ΠΡOC, ICTΡON, Eagle standing facing on thunderbolt, head left, with wreath in beak. Moushmov 1506, VF. Nice jade green patina. Struck AD 238-244 Magistrate: Sabinius Modestus Gordian III, 29 July 238 - 25 February 244 A.D. Gordian III was the grandson of Gordian I and nephew of Gordian II. He was proclaimed Caesar shortly before the murder of Balbinus and Pupienus, and he succeeded them. Little is known about his reign. In 242 A.D. he embarked on a campaign against the Persian Kingdom which was so successful the Persians had to evacuate Mesopotamia. However, Gordian III died shortly after, through illness or the machinations of his Praetorian prefect and successor, Philip I.
