A pen created to celebrate an empire, a culture that underpins modern Western civilization: the Roman Empire, consolidated in the Euro-Mediterranean region between the 1st and 4th centuries BC, is considered the greatest in terms of territorial management and quality, socio-political organization, and the significance of the mark it left on human history. Throughout the territories over which they extended their borders, the Romans built cities, roads, bridges, and aqueducts, exporting their model of civilization everywhere while simultaneously assimilating the conquered populations and civilizations. After the end of the Empire, these people continued to call themselves Roman. The speckled red color characterizes the Imperium Romanum collection, crafted from Italian resin turned from solid bar stock. The central band of the silver barrel reproduces the effigy of Augustus. The silver clip features a small, handcrafted wooden element. The ring on the silver cap features the two dates that generally identify the beginning and end of a single state entity: 27 BC - 395 AD.
