Marcus Aurelius Denarius Pendant – Victory & Roma (170–171 AD)
Authentic Roman Coin | Hand-set in Solid 18k Gold
This pendant features an original silver denarius struck in Rome during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor whose writings still shape modern thought. On the obverse, we see his laureate portrait—marked with the imperial titles IMP M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXV—a record of his 25th year as Tribune, a key role in Roman governance.
The reverse is a tribute to the spirit of the Roman state: the goddess Roma, seated on a cuirass, holds Victory in her outstretched hand and a spear in the other—a striking symbol of strength through wisdom and divine favor.
This coin circulated nearly 1,850 years ago, at the height of Roman power, yet its themes feel timeless: sovereignty, stability, and the endurance of thoughtful rule.
Set entirely by hand in a custom 18k gold bezel, this piece preserves the coin’s full detail while offering a rich, wearable setting worthy of its history.
Each Peregrine Pendant is handcrafted around an authentic ancient coin—2,000 years old or more—and set with care in precious metal. Whether Greek, Roman, or otherwise, these coins once passed through real hands in history and now find new life as heirloom jewelry. Every piece is made to order or individually selected, preserving its unique marks and story. Our clients often describe the experience as holding a piece of history in their hand—and wearing it close to the heart.
