Buy Two Ounce Memento Mori Silver Rounds Online

"Memento Mori," is translated to English as, "Remember that you have to die." This reminder is not about being morbid or promoting fear, but about inspiring, motivating and clarifying. The idea was essential throughout history to art, philosophy, literary works, architectural design, and more. Memento Mori is believed to have first been used in Ancient Rome.

In ancient Rome, triumphant military commanders were paraded to the roar of the masses through the streets after a significant military victory. The parade spanned up to a day with the military commander riding in a four-horse chariot. Riding in the same chariot would be a slave. The primary responsibility of the slave for the whole parade was to continuously whisper in the general's ear, “Memento Mori!” to make sure the general stayed humble and focused.

These 2 oz Memento Mori Silver Rounds are minted using two troy ounces of .999 fine silver (common in most silver bullion items) by the Intaglio Mint.
