Popis produktu: This intriguing piece is a Roman spintria token depicting an erotic scene that reflects the private and sensual aspects of Roman culture during the Imperial period. The obverse shows a detailed relief of two nude figures engaged in an intimate act upon a draped bed, surrounded by curtains?a recurring motif found on ancient tokens possibly linked to private establishments, theater settings, or brothel systems. The figures are rendered in a stylized but expressive form, offering insight into the aesthetics and openness of Roman society toward physical pleasure and sexuality. Such tokens, unlike coins, were not used as currency but may have served as entry tokens, payments for services, or objects of erotic amusement.On the reverse, the token bears the Roman numeral VIII framed by a laurel wreath, a traditional symbol of honor and victory in Roman iconography. These numerals may have denoted a room, a service, or a sequence within a series of similar tokens. While the original spintriae date from the reign of Emperor Tiberius (1st century CE), this item is a modern reproduction, meticulously crafted to reflect the artistry and cultural ambiance of the Roman Empire. It remains a compelling object for collectors interested in the intersection of numismatics, sexuality, and ancient Roman daily life. Foto:
