Struck in Antioch under the young emperor Elagabalus, this coin once traveled a bustling Roman city in Syria nearly 1,800 years ago.
It bought food, paid debts, and passed from palm to palm. The laurel crowned portrait once felt familiar to real people who lived, hoped, and struggled in a world long gone.
Hold it and picture the marketplace, the voices, the life it witnessed.
A genuine relic of everyday Rome. Solid. Human. Real.
You will receive the exact coin pictured.
