As fascinating to us, as it was devastating to the ancient Pompeii city, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD buried a population of Italians under a wave of ash and lava.
This spectacular coin depicts the eruption, in ridiculously high relief - the glowing crater reaches early a full centimetre off the coin! Surrounding the violence of the volcano, the city of Pompeii goes about its business in tremendous detail, including two oblivious gladiators fighting to the death inside the Pompeii coliseum!
