Description: Pair of earrings with Ancient Roman Empire coins. This is a stunning pair of clips-on earrings mounted with two genuine ancient silver denarius coins from the Roman Empire. The earrings frames were crafted with irregular shapes to reinforce the antiquity design, in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. They are fitted at the reverse with gold posts (Removable) for pierced ears and a pair of comfortable hinged French omega backs for fastening clips. The coins that embellished this pair are authentic ancient Roman coins struck during the Roman Imperial period in the name of the Emperor Trajan, between the 98 AD and 117 AD. Obverse description: The middle aged naked and laureate portrait-bust of the Emperor Trajan 98-117 AD, facing to the right, with the legend around, IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VPP. The Emperor Trajan Trajan, born as Marcus Ulpius Traianus, was a Roman emperor from AD 98 to 117, remembered as the second of the Five Good Emperors of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was a philanthropic ruler and a successful soldier-emperor who presided over one of the greatest military expansions in Roman history, during which, by the time of his death, the Roman Empire reached its maximum territorial extent. He was given the title of Optimus by the Roman Senate. Trajan rose to prominence during the reign of Domitian; in AD 89, serving as a legatus legionis in Hispania Tarraconensis, he supported the emperor against a revolt on the Rhine led by Antonius Saturninus. He then served as governor of Germania and Pannonia. In September 96, Domitian was succeeded by the elderly and childless Nerva, who proved to be unpopular with the army. After a revolt by members of the Praetorian Guard, Nerva decided to adopt as his heir and successor the more popular Trajan, who had distinguished himself in military campaigns against Germanic tribes. As emperor of Rome, Trajan oversaw the construction of building projects such as the forum named after him, the introduction of social welfare policies such as the alimental, and new military conquests. He annexed Nabataea and Dacia, and his war against the Parthian Empire ended with the incorporation of Armenia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria as Roman provinces. In August AD 117, while sailing back to Rome, Trajan fell ill and died of a stroke in the city of Selinus. He was deified by the senate and his successor Hadrian (Trajan's cousin). According to historical tradition, Trajan's ashes were entombed in a small room beneath Trajan's Column. Weight: 20.45 grams (13.25 Dwt.). Measurements: Each diameter of 26 mm (1.02 Inches).
