Description: Original Roman Sestertius Large Brass Coin! Now available to you are the original Roman Sestertius’ - large solid Brass coins minted throughout the Roman Empire across all Roman provinces. The name sestertius means "two and one half", referring to its nominal value of two and a half asses (a bronze Roman coin, singular as), a value that was useful for commerce because it was one quarter of a denarius, a coin worth ten asses (Silver Denarius’ coins also available in our store, be sure to check them out!). This large Brass version of the Sestertius, began minting in 23 A.D. in a coin reform initiated by Emperor Augustus. The brass sestertius typically weighs in the region of 25 to 28 grams, is around 32–34 mm in diameter and about 4 mm thick.

Most were struck in the mint of Rome but from AD 64 during the reign of Nero (AD 54–68) and Vespasian (AD 69–79), the mint of Lyon (Lugdunum), supplemented production.
