This striking piece represents one of the rare and fascinating Roman erotic spintria tokens, used during the early Imperial period, most likely in the 1st century CE under the Julio-Claudian dynasty. The obverse vividly depicts an erotic scene of two figures in an intimate pose, framed by curtains that hint at theatrical or ritualistic connotations. These tokens were likely not currency but served a specific purpose in Roman society—possibly as entrance tokens to brothels, gaming counters, or as a form of private entertainment within elite circles. The boldness of the imagery underscores the Romans’ complex relationship with sexuality, spectacle, and social ritual.
