Erotic tokens known as spintriae are among the most interesting small objects of Roman culture. They appear mainly in the 1st century AD and combine art, symbolism and everyday life in ancient Rome.

They bear a number in the Roman system on one side and an erotic scene on the other. These tokens could serve as playing stones, tokens for baths or brothels, or as small good luck charms.

This replica of Spintria VIIII is hand-cast in zinc and has a fine patina that enhances the relief details. The wreath around the number VIIII and the realistic depiction of the characters give the coin historical fidelity. A great accessory for collectors, reenactors and lovers of antiquity, it brings a touch of Roman humour and everyday life.
