Issued by the esteemed Aurelia family in ancient Rome, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistry of that era. The coin's close-up shot reveals intricate details on its obverse side, where the powerful female figure of Roma reigns supreme. Against a subtle grey background, Roma's majestic head emerges with grace and authority. Her divine presence is enhanced by the letterbox format used for this image, allowing viewers to fully appreciate her beauty and significance. With stunning coloration and impeccable craftsmanship, this silver coin transports us back in time to witness an equestrian scene. The goddess stands proudly in her chariot pulled by magnificent horses, symbolizing power and conquest.
