AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Encapsulated silver-toned metal pendant, for better preservation, with a nummus of Constantine II (son of Constantine I the Great) when he was Caesar. Minted between 325-326 AD with a mint in Heraclea (office B/SMHB). It is mounted on a modern 925 silver cord-type chain.
Obverse; laureate and draped bust of Caesar Constantine II looking to the right. Legend "Constantine Junior, the Most Noble Caesar".
Reverse; Roman military camp in the form of a square-plant building or watchtower with two turrets at the top and a star between them. This star is associated with divine guidance, celestial light, and the protection of the gods over the Roman state and its rulers.
Legend "To the Providence of the Caesars" which reinforced the idea of security and vigilance that military camps possessed under celestial favor.
Includes a legal declaration sheet.
Customs costs outside the EU shall be borne by the auction winner.
Seller's Story
Thousands of years ago, in the ancient cities of Greece, the AGORA was the heart of the community. It was not just a market; it was the place where people gathered to share ideas, discover the world, and marvel at knowledge.
Today, that spirit is reborn, but on a much larger scale. Welcome to AGORA.
Our story doesn't begin decades ago, but billions of years ago. It begins in the vacuum of space, where the violent birth of a star forged the METEORITES that you can touch with your own hands today. It continues beneath the Earth's crust, where the patience of the Earth combined heat, pressure, and time to sculpt the perfect geometry of the MINERALS. And finally, it meets us through ARCHAEOLOGY: the fragments of vases, tools, and coins that our ancestors left behind as clues to who we are.
At AGORA we believe that the most valuable objects are not those that shine on the outside, but those that have a story to tell. We are not just a store; we are a meeting point between the cosmos, the Earth, and humanity.
Each piece in our display cases is an authentic fragment of eternity. A witness of the Big Bang, a secret buried for millennia, or a relic of a lost civilization. Entering here is the beginning of a journey through time. We invite you to discover your own fragment of history.
