Own an authentic, hand-struck piece of ancient history. Throughout the Late Roman and early Byzantine eras, classical coins prominently featured a striking winged figure—known in Roman traditions as Victoria (the personification of Victory) and later adapted in early Christian Byzantine art as the winged Angel of God.
These classic bronze issues depicted the winged figure in a variety of powerful motifs: advancing holding a laurel wreath and palm branch, standing on the prow of a Roman war galley, or erecting a battlefield trophy. Struck over 1,500 years ago, this issue remains one of the most popular and visually captivating themes for ancient numismatic collectors, blending classical pagan symbolism with early Christian artistic roots.
