Own an authentic piece of ancient world history. Issued under Constantine the Great and his sons (c. 330–337 AD), this historic bronze nummus was minted to celebrate the dedication of Constantinople and reaffirm Rome’s eternal, divine origins.

The reverse features one of the most famous and enduring motifs in all of classical antiquity: the Lupa Romana (She-Wolf) standing left, looking back lovingly at the infant twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, as they suckle beneath her. Above them rest two stars representing the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux), symbolizing divine protection over the empire. Struck nearly 1,700 years ago, this bronze issue remains one of the absolute most popular and iconic entry points for ancient coin collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
