Moneta traces ancient Rome’s unstoppable rise, from a few huts on an
Italian hilltop to an all-conquering empire spanning three continents,
through the fascinating lives of twelve remarkable coins. In these
handcrafted pieces of ancient art we witness Caesar's bloody
assassination, follow the legions to the edge of the known world, take
a seat in the packed Colosseum, and ultimately, watch as barbarian
armies mass at the gates.
The Romans saw coins as far more than just money – these were metal
canvases on which they immortalised their sacred gods, mighty emperors,
towering monuments, and brutal battles of conquest. Revealed in those
intricate designs struck in gold, silver, and bronze was the epic
history of the Roman world.
Hold the glory and the infamy of ancient Rome in the palm of your hand.
