Ancient coins offer an astounding connection to the past, truly holding history in one's hands.
Coinage began in the 7th century BC as a means of expediting and facilitating broad trade. What started as a simple concept grew into a vast and diverse art form. The best artists of the most powerful civilizations were employed to create miniature masterpieces. It is through these sculptures that we learn a great deal about their societies, the inscribed political propaganda and messaging transcending time to reach us today.
The Colosseo Collection has been in continual development and refinement for over 15 years with new coins added regularly, focused on artistic and historic examples of the first millennium of coinage.
