Ancient Rome The Twelve Caesars Coin Collection

A DREAM ACQUISITION…

Historic, important and very, very rare, the Coins of the Twelve Caesars Collection is the dream acquisition for any collector. This is your chance to make that dream a reality!

THE TWELVE CAESARS…

A genuine relic from the earliest days of one of the world’s greatest empires, the Coins of the Twelve Caesars Collection comprises twelve genuine Ancient Roman coins. The collection was inspired by The Twelve Caesars, a book written circa 120AD by Suetonius, secretary to Emperor Hadrian. The book details the life and reign of each of the first twelve men to rule what would become known as the Roman Empire, and the collection features a coin of each of those rulers.

A ‘WHO’S WHO’ OF ANCIENT ROME…

A wondrous presentation, the Coins of the Twelve Caesars Collection reads like a Who’s Who of Ancient Rome. Julius Caesar, Augustus, Caligula, Claudius, Nero…giants of history, and names that reverberate down the ages. To hold these coins is not just to hold the history of the Roman Empire in your hands – it is to hold the history of the entire modern world as we know it!

AS RARE AS IT IS HISTORIC…

With some 2,000 years having passed since these coins were issued, it will come as no surprise that the Coins of the Twelve Caesars Collection is extremely rare.

One of the most famous characters in history, the coins of Julius Caesar are always highly sought after and notoriously rare. Coins of the ‘evil emperors’ – Caligula and Nero – are also extremely rare, with much destroyed after the two were deposed and murdered. Titus ruled for just two years, whilst the reigns of Galba, Otho and Vitellius each lasted a mere matter of months. With little currency issued, the coinage of all four is excessively rare. As a result, the Coins of the Twelve Caesars Collection is seldom offered.

A rare opportunity, we are delighted to have two collections available. A presentation ‘par excellence’, each 12-coin collection is set within a lavish, lockable black timber case. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included, along with a copy of Suetonius’ famous book.
