DETAILED: Roman. Severus Alexander. Jupiter / Emperor. (232 CE, silver set)
Sharp denarius with great symbolism.
To appreciate its size, the relief of the coin and the shape of the bail, see the picture showing the coin next to a US quarter (coming 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.
Coin information:
Severus Alexander - silver denarius
Obverse: IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG, Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust to right.
Reverse: IOVI PROPVGNATORI, Jupiter standing facing, head right, preparing to hurl thunderbolt and holding eagle in outstretched hand.
Struck in Rome, 232 CE.
Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander was promoted from Caesar to Augustus after the murder of his cousin, Elagabalus. His reign was marked by great economic prosperity, and he enjoyed great success against the barbarian tribes. His mother Julia Mamaea was the real power in the empire, controlling her son's policies and even his personal life with great authority. Severus had an oratory where he prayed under the edict, written on the wall, "Do not unto others what you would not have done to yourself" and the images of various prophets including Mithras, Zoroaster, Abraham, and Jesus. Mutinous soldiers led by Maximinus I murdered both Severus Alexander and his mother.

Why buy from us? I see a lot of pre-made bezels, that are made for modern coins passing as "handmade" jewelry. Each of our coins is carefully handset in a custom made bezel which takes time and skill.
