These coins are from a time-period known as the tumultuous ‘Age of Chaos’ – an era of violence that saw the entire empire engulfed in the flames of war!

When it comes to collecting, two things are stressed above all others –Quality and History.

When determining the quality of a coin, there are few that can analyze and grade coins better than the experts over at NGC, one of America’s most popular grading companies. When it comes to ‘history’ collectors typically mean one of two things: (1) is the coin now considered ‘obsolete’ or iconic due its significance in the history of coinage and (2) just exactly how old is the coin itself? Often times, the older the coin and the better the condition, then the better your collection.

Over the years, we have seen some really interesting pieces, but few can compare to the combination of History and Quality of these certified ancient beauties left over from the Roman Empire!

That’s right – These are CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC Coins from the Roman Empire!
