Silver Struck During the Golden Age of Rome

 

Beautiful coins from of the Roman Empire are among the most popular and coveted pieces in any collection of historic coins. Of those, the most desired are pieces struck when Rome was at the peak of its power, such as these stunning Silver Denarius coins struck during the lifetime of Emperor Marcus Aurelius that pay tribute to his beloved wife, Empress Faustina.

 

These Silver Denarii were struck from A.D. 147-175/76 during the lifetime of philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius, who reigned from A.D. 161-180 as the last of Rome’s so-called “Five Good Emperors.” These emperors were given that title because they reigned from A.D. 96-180 during a time when Rome was at its most peaceful, prosperous and largest. It was truly Rome’s golden age. This silver denarius was considered to be one of the most important coins of that era. It circulated heavily throughout the Roman Empire and was used in all forms of payment from shopping in the market to paying soldiers in the service of Rome.

 

Finding one of these coins in nice condition is next to impossible, but fortunately for you we’ve unearthed a Golden Age Hoard of these silver denarius coins that are absolutely magnificent. They are so nice that each was professionally certified and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) to be in Very Fine (VF) condition! The obverse of each coin features the draped bust of Roman Empress Faustina, the wife of Marcus Aurelius. As the dates vary on these coins, so, too do the reverse designs, but each features a god, goddess or personification representing something characteristic about either Faustina or Marcus Aurelius.

 

Faustina (known as “the Younger” since her mother was Faustina the Elder) was the daughter of Emperor Antonius Pius. When Antonius named Marcus Aurelius his heir, he solidified the move by betrothing Faustina to the future emperor. It proved to be a successful marriage as Faustina bore Marcus 13 children and accompanied him so often on his military campaigns that she earned the nickname “Mother of the Camps.” So respected was Faustina by both her husband and his soldiers that upon her death she was deified and her statue was placed in Rome’s Temple of Venus.
