Roman Republican Janus Denarius Pendant in Handcrafted 14k Gold Nikopolis ad Istrum Hand set in sterling silverAn authentic silver denarius from 119 BC, celebrating the Roman god of beginnings. Long before the emperors, before Julius Caesar, and nearly two centuries before the birth of Marcus Aurelius, Rome struck coins that celebrated the ideals upon which the Republic was built. This authentic silver denarius was minted in 119 BC, during a period when Rome was expanding its influence across the Mediterranean while still governed by republican institutions.
