According to Roman legend, Romulus and Remus were twin brothers born of royal lineage. An evil king, fearing the twins’ birthright, ordered them drowned in the Tiber River. Miraculously, the infants washed ashore and were nurtured by a she-wolf, who cared for them until they grew into bold young men. Eventually, they discovered their true heritage, overthrew the tyrant, and restored their grandfather to the throne — with Romulus going on to found the city of Rome.

The Urbs Roma coins typically feature the helmeted bust of Roma, the goddess symbolizing the strength and spirit of the city. The reverse often depicts the famous scene of the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, accompanied by stars representing divine protection and destiny.

Issued during the reign of Constantine the Great and his sons, these coins celebrated both the heritage of old Rome and the rise of the new imperial capital, Constantinople. They are a perfect example of how Rome blended myth, politics, and power into its imagery.
