Erotic tokens called spintria are small but fascinating evidence of life in ancient Rome. Dating back to the 1st century AD, they combine artistic representation with a touch of Roman humour and practicality.
On one side is an erotic scene, on the other a number in the Roman system. It is thought that these tokens may have served as tickets to baths or brothels, gambling stamps or personal amulets.
The replica of Spintria XIII is cast in zinc and given a patina that enhances the fine details of the relief. The laurel wreath with the number XIII is complemented by a realistically modelled scene in the spirit of ancient art. The token will delight collectors, history enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys novel reminders of Roman culture.
