Step back to the legendary origins of the Roman Empire with this authentic bronze Roman coin struck between 330–340 AD, during the reign of Constantine the Great. Issued from the House of Constantine, this historic AE3/4 (BI Nummus) celebrates Rome’s mythic foundation and enduring legacy.

Ancient Roman society was full of rich lore. Legend stated that Romulus and his twin brother Remus were destined to found Rome. An evil deposer, king Amulius, tried to drown the infants to remove the threat of their royal birthright. The infants, however, washed up on the bank of the Tiber River and survived with the care and nursing of a kindly lupa or "She-wolf". Romulus then went on to found Rome, one of the most prolific empires in history. While just a mythological story, it grounded Rome as a divine empire.

The reverse features one of the most iconic images in ancient history: Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome, depicted as infants being nursed by the she-wolf. Above them appears the inscription VRBS ROMA (“City of Rome”), honoring Rome as the eternal heart of the empire. This design was part of a special commemorative series issued to reaffirm Rome’s symbolic importance, even as imperial power shifted elsewhere.

The obverse displays the helmeted personification of Roma, the city-goddess, embodying strength, protection, and imperial authority.

This coin has been professionally authenticated and graded Fine (F) by NGC Ancients, ensuring both its genuineness and historical integrity. Encapsulated in an NGC holder with a verification hologram, it offers peace of mind for collectors.
