History in your hands the Wolf & Twins Bronze

The Wolf & Twins Bronze issued from 330AD in the name of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great is one of the world 's most famous coin types. Defined by huge historical importance and rich symbolism, the great affordability of the Wolf & Twins Bronze means that it is a type that everyone can own even in premium grade quality!

A man of great wisdom

Ostensibly struck to honour the city of Rome, the Wolf & Twins Bronze was more than a simple commemorative type. It was an astute political statement by a wise ruler. Constantine was aware that his plan to shift the seat of government from Rome to the new city of Constantinople could upset the people of Rome. So, attempting to defuse any potential upheaval, the Wolf & Twins Bronze was created as a powerful celebration of the glory of Rome, effectively asserting that Constantinople was a continuation of Rome 's greatness, not its replacement.

Tapping into history

Originally handed out at the consecration ceremony of Constantinople in 330AD, the designs chosen for this coin were specifically intended to swell Roman pride. Unusually, the Emperor 's portrait did not appear on the coin, but rather the bust of Roma the Goddess of Rome. The reverse celebrated Rome 's greatest legend, with the city 's mythical founders, Romulus and Remus, being suckled by the she-wolf. As the relocation of the Roman Empire 's centre of power from the west to the east took place without great incident, one can only assume that Constantine would have been satisfied that his ingenious use of currency was an unqualified success.

Simply a must-have

Given the importance, history and remarkable affordability of this 1,700-year-old coin, the Constantine Wolf & Twins Bronze is simply a must-have for every coin collector regardless of your traditional interest. Graded good Very Fine, and astonishingly good value given the impressive quality, this is your chance to hold a key piece of Ancient history in your hands.
