Ancient Roman Silver Denarius, Mounted as Pendant – Severan Period (Possibly Attributed to Septimius Severus) c. AD 193–211 An authentic ancient Roman silver coin, identified as a denarius, dating to the Severan period, circa AD 193–211, and possibly attributed to the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, later adapted into a wearable pendant. The obverse depicts a laureate imperial bust, facing right, executed in the characteristic Severan portrait style, with more realistic and forceful facial features compared to earlier Antonine issues. Parts of the surrounding imperial inscription remain visible, supporting a late 2nd–early 3rd century date. The reverse features a standing martial figure, likely Mars or a related military personification, holding attributes associated with warfare and imperial strength—imagery frequently employed during the Severan dynasty. The coin retains an aged silver surface with natural toning and light encrustation consistent with long circulation and burial. It has been respectfully mounted with a silver-toned suspension loop and is presented on a faux leather necklace, allowing for wearable display while preserving the integrity of the ancient coin.
