URBS Roma, Sterling Pendant Frame
- Description
Obverse: Bust of helmeted Roma wearing the imperial mantle. She is surrounded by the name 'VRBS ROMA' which refers to the city of Rome personified as a goddess.
Reverse: She-wolf and the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, who are the key characters in the foundation myth of Rome. This scene became a symbol for the city of Rome. The two stars which appear refer to Rome’s constancy. ;'SMALD' which often appears in the exergue is the mint mark which means Signata Moneta ALexanDria, “Money struck at Alexandria.”
This coin was minted in the ancient city of Siscia, the chief town and colony of the province of Pannonia in what is now called Sisak, Croatia. Officinae were designated by a different letter of the Greek or Roman alphabets (in the case of this coin by the letter gamma indicating that it was struck in the third officina), or by certain recognizable symbols such as palm branches, dots, stars, and sunrises.
This coin was minted circa 330-350 AD by Constantine the Great as part of his campaign of moving his capital from Rome to Constantinople.

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
