Origin: Israel (Jerusalem)
Circa: 307 AD to 337 BC
Collection: Roman Bronze Coin Ring
Medium: bronze/gold
Around the year 330, Constantine established a magnificent new capital for the Roman Empire on the shores of the Bosphorus. Bearing the helmeted image of Constantinoplis on one side, and with the goddess victory on the other, this coin commemorates that event. Perhaps the citizen of the Empire who first held this coin had actually visited the new city and seen its wonders. The person who wears the coin today in its frame of gold will also visit the ancient world, if only in the imagination. Jewelry for those with a romantic spirit. - (FJ.2822)
