Sterling Silver Ancient Coin Necklace (Romulus and Remus 306-337 A.D)

Dating back to 306-324 A.D. this ancient roman coin is set in sterling silver and hangs on a 22-inch, sterling silver paperclip link chain. The front of the coin features the she-wolf, which is standing head left, and nursing the twins, Romulus and Remus. The traditional founders of Rome appearing in Roman mythology as the in sons of the priestess Rhea Silvia fathered by the god of war, Mars. Romulus slew Remus over a dispute about which one of the two brothers had the support of the local deities to rule the new city and give it his name. The name they gave the city was Rome.
