Ancient Roman Bronze Coin 'Urbs Roma' Commemorative - City of Rome - NGC Certified

Authentic NGC-certified AE3/AE4 bronze commemorating the city of Rome during the reign of Constantine I and his successors (AD 330–346). Struck as part of a special commemorative series, this coin honors the legendary origins of Rome even as imperial focus shifted eastward to the newly founded Constantinople.

The obverse features the helmeted personification of Roma, facing left or right, with the inscription URBS ROMA — “City of Rome.” The reverse depicts the iconic she-wolf nursing the twins Romulus and Remus beneath two stars, a direct reference to Rome’s mythic foundation story. This imagery reinforced the eternal and divinely favored status of Rome at a time of political and religious transformation.

Issued in small bronze denominations for everyday circulation, these coins traveled throughout the empire, from Britain to Egypt. They served as powerful reminders that despite the rise of a new eastern capital, Rome’s legacy remained central to imperial identity.

Encapsulated in an official NGC slab for authentication and preservation, this bronze represents a fascinating transitional moment — where ancient myth, imperial propaganda, and a changing religious landscape intersected in enduring metal.
