If one wants to study the history of any civilization, one cannot help but consider the art associated with it.
This is especially true when considering our Western Civilization. Our civilization is in many respects an extension of the classical civilizations developed in Greece and Rome. These English words you are reading are 2/3 Latin written with the Latin alphabet. Our democratic form of government was developed in ancient Athens and the Republican Constitution in ancient Rome. The Atomic Theory was first proposed in ancient Greece as was the Germ Theory of disease. Much of our law is adopted from the Roman concept of justice. The architecture most commonly employed for public buildings is essentially Greek and Roman in character.
Our website is intended to foster a deeper appreciation of our Greek and Roman heritage
and the art associated with it. Additionally, it is committed to the notion that anybody
of moderate means can own a quality genuine ancient art object that can be shared with others.
To that end we create quality handcrafted pieces of Ancient Wearable Art using genuine ancient
Greek and Roman coins without the destructive use of heat, chemicals, or abrasives. Polish
is applied to the mountings but never to the coins which are chosen on the basis of condition,
eye appeal, and historical interest. We hope you enjoy your visit with us and please feel
free to share your comments and opinions.

“We’re very pleased with how the piece turned out—well-crafted and distinctive. This
one was for the Mrs. I’m sure I will be ordering some more of these for my daughters. I’ll
recommend you to anyone who remarks on the one the Mrs. will be wearing. Thanks again.”

“The necklace arrived in Maryland long before I did on Wednesday and was delivered on
Thursday to Mrs. W’s utter delight. She wore it all weekend and truly seemed excited about
it. It was a perfect choice for her and really is a beautiful piece, so it was as much fun
for us to give as it was for her to receive it. Thank you once again for all the effort
that went into getting this to us. I certainly hope to do business with you again...”

“Your work is unique and shows a lot of care. This will be the highlight on Christmas morning. We are going to a costume party on New Years, this will be part of my wife’s outfit. Thanks for all you’ve done. I will recommend you every time someone comments on this interesting piece. Happy Holidays...”
