[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are pleased to offer this genuine 2000+ year old Roman Republican silver Denarius of M. Volteius M.f. for your consideration. This desirable coin was minted in Rome in 78 BC and survives in very fine condition with both sides exhibiting a beautiful luster. Our photo does not convey the luster so apparent when viewing this coin in person. Of particular interest is the fact that this coin features a rare depiction of the Temple of Jupiter which stood on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. The Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus was the national temple of the Roman nation and was considered to be so sacred that its original details, size and appearance were always maintained whenever it was restored. It is believed that Julius Caesar, some 35 years after this coin was minted, complemented the exterior adornment by adding statuary to the temple's roof edge. ( See below for more on the Temple of Jupiter ) [Image] Obverse: Laureate head of Jupiter facing right. Reverse: Tetrastyle temple of Jupiter Capitolinus... M. VOLTEI M.F. Size: 19 mm Weight: 3.5 grams Reference: Sear 312 The artistry and mythological subjects of ancient Roman coins have always been a tremendous lure to collectors. In addition. these heirlooms of the ancient world have become extremely popular as showpieces for modern jewelry. Here's your opportunity to add this beautiful 2000+ year old example to your collection. You will not be disappointed with this important and valuable coin. The Capitoline Hill and the Temple of Jupiter: The Capitoline Hill ( Capitolinus Mons ), between the Forum and the Campus Martius, is one of the most famous and highest of the seven hills of Rome, the site of the Temple of Jupiter for the Capitoline Triad of Jupiter, his wife Juno and their daughter Minerva. The temple was dedicated by Rome's last king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, and was considered one of the largest and the most beautiful temples in the city. When the Celtic Gauls raided Rome in 390 BC, the Capitoline Hill was the one section of the city to evade capture by the barbarians. The Capitoline echoes with famous events in Roman history; it was here that Brutus and the assassins locked themselves inside the Temple of Jupiter after murdering Caesar; here that the Gracchi plotted and died; here the triumphant generals overlooked the city for which they fought; here that the Vestal Virgin Tarpeia betrayed Rome by permiting the Gauls into the citadel; here that state criminals were executed by being thrown off the steep crest of the hill onto the dagger-sharp [Image] Tarpeian Rocks below. When Julius Caesar suffered an accident during his Triumph, clearly indicating the wrath of Jupiter for his actions in the Civil Wars, he approached Jupiter's temple on his knees as a way of averting the unlucky omen ( he was murdered six months later ). From 1536 until 1546 Michelangelo transformed the Campidoglio, as Romans had come to know it, with his three palazzi that enclose a harmonious and urbanely coherent trapezoidal space. The approach was by the ramped staircase called the "Cordonata", which reversed the classical orientation of the Capitoline, overlooking the Forum, and turned it to face Papal Rome.
