At Felicitas.Perpetua we offer our customers high quality ancient art at affordable prices. Specialising in ancient coinage, we also stock a small selection of museum quality artefacts, and a few British coins and tokens. Our items are selected for their rarity, artistic beauty, historical significance, or simply for the stories they tell.
Coins offer us a fascinating insight into the social, cultural, and artistic history of mankind. Often they are virtually all that remains of once-great rulers and civilisations. The images upon them are imprinted onto the collective consciousness, from the iconic owls of Athens, to the small change in our pockets. Integral to civilisation, coins are sewn into the fabric of society, passing through the hands of both rich and poor, buying everything: bread and wine, sex and status, loyalty and betrayal.
