Item Details
Description
19th-20th century AD. A gold pendant made in the form of a gold solidus of Constantius II, 347-355 AD, Antioch mint with pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right, and Roma on the reverse, holding spear, and Constantinopolis, holding sceptre, seated right and left, Roma's head facing, Constantinopolis' head turned left, holding between them a shield inscribed VOT XX MVLT XXX; mintmark: SMANI. 2.39 grams, 21mm (3/4"). Ex Walter Steinberg collection; with envelope, acquired 2004. Walter Steinberg has been a well-known figure at fairs, sales and events for many years. Born in 1922 in Philadelphia, Walter has had a life-long passion for collecting. A long-time resident in London, he has now retired to New York and decided that the time has come to pass on the antiquities and coins he has collected over his lifetime. Walter acquired coins and artefacts that interested him, so his collection, although containing many lovely examples, also contains many affordable specimens. Much of the material has been unavailable to the market for 30 to 50 years. Walter hopes that the items he collected will now find new homes with the next generation of collectors.
