Roman Empire 20 Emperor Collection
These genuine ancient Roman coins from the third and fourth centuries AD come in a custom made hardwood case. Each coin is protected in a archival capsule and features a different Roman Emperor. The obverse side of the coin shows the portrait of the Emperor at the time the coins were minted. Most of the reverse sides have a military theme.

The coins were struck in vast quantites for circulation through out the Empire. They were hand struck, made with two dies and a heavy hammer, resulting in not all coins being perfectly round or having an even strike.
