The ease with which coins were mass-produced, and the subsequent potential they held as a means of broadcasting important messages and facilitating political propaganda was quickly recognized and taken advantage of by the ancient Romans. As opposed to papyrus scrolls, which were fragile, costly and had to be read, coins were small, compact, and carried pictorial messages, which could be instantly recognized and understood by anyone. Symbols were an important and effective means of communication in Imperial Rome. With their ability of transferring universal messages, both simple and complex; their function in antiquity remains as important as it is today. For example, anyone today could recognize a red octagon as meaning STOP, whether they could read the letters or not. Similarly, when one sees a crucifix, one instantly knows that this is a symbol of the Christian faith. Images on Roman coins were equally clear. Roman Imperial coins are characteristically known for having the portrait of the existing ruler(s) on the obverse, while the reverse holds the image of a deity or sacred building. Names and titles remain minimal and abbreviated on early Imperial coins - the images are left to speak for themselves. Price includes packing, shipping and handling, insurance, Certificate of Authenticity, export approval from the Antiquities Department in Israel. Toll Free: from USA to Israel.
