🐺 Roma’s Legacy: The Founding Myth on Imperial Coinage
This bronze AE3/4 Bi Nummus, struck during the Constantinian dynasty, features the iconic she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus—a scene deeply rooted in Rome’s origin myth and political identity.
 
Minted around the time of Constantine the Great’s succession and the establishment of Constantinople as the new capital, this coin echoes a powerful message: Rome’s eternal destiny, renewed through dynastic continuity.
 
On the obverse, a helmeted bust of Roma or an imperial figure reflects the strength and protection of the empire. On the reverse, the she-wolf and twins appear beneath twin military standards or turrets, signifying both Rome’s past and its military present.
