History of the Artifact

Struck as part of the celebrations of the creation of a new capital for the Empire, at Constantinople, the Wolf & Twins Bronze was more than a simple commemorative coin. 

Handed out at the consecration ceremony of Constantinople in 330AD, the designs chosen for this coin were specifically intended to swell Roman pride. Unusually, the Emperor's portrait did not appear on the coin, but rather the bust of Roma - the Goddess of Rome. The reverse of the coin is distinguished by one of the most recognizable motifs in the history of coinage - the Wolf & Twins design from which the coin takes its name. 

The Wolf & Twins Bronze was created as a powerful celebration of the glory of Rome, effectively asserting that Constantinople was a continuation of Rome's greatness, rather than its replacement.

Skillfully utilizing history to impress the people of the Empire's original capital, the design portrays the city's mythical founders, Romulus and Remus, being suckled by the she-wolf.
