This silver denarius was struck in Rome during the reign of Vespasian, the founder of the Flavian dynasty. The obverse shows the emperor’s laureate portrait, while the reverse depicts Pax, goddess of peace, holding an olive branch. The imagery reflected Rome’s recovery after the upheaval of civil war, projecting stability, prosperity, and renewal.
Now set in a custom sterling silver bezel, the coin has been preserved as both a historical artifact and a wearable emblem of resilience and order.
The History
Vespasian rose to power after the turbulent “Year of the Four Emperors” in AD 69. His reign stabilized Rome, strengthened the treasury, and ushered in a new era of construction — including the start of the Colosseum.
Denarii bearing the figure of Pax symbolized this restored order, serving as daily reminders to Romans of peace secured through strength. To wear such a coin today is to carry a token of resilience, reform, and pragmatic leadership.

Thank you for making this spectacular necklace! I provided the denarius of Julia Domna, and they did the rest. I was delighted with the results - and so (more importantly) was my girlfriend.

The Athenian Owl pendants are awesome! We're saving the gift for a special occasion. My wife loved it, she got it and was all hushed quiet, that smile while opening and handling it for the first few minutes. It's special.
