With this limited edition writing instrument, Aurora pays homage to Gaius Julius Caesar, one of the most important historical figures of Rome and, more generally, of Italy.

The Aurora Gaius Julius Caesar is limited to 919 fountain pens. The cap and barrel are made from white ‘cracked ice’ Auroloid with a variety of semi-transparent and pearlescent flakes mixed throughout. The trim pieces found on the cap and barrel are crafted from .925 solid sterling silver. The crown ring features the name “GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR”.The cap band shows two images of a rider in his chariot, the vehicle of war that was also used in horse races in the amphitheaters. At the rear of the barrel is a band of the laurel wreath. For the ancient Romans it symbolized power, culture and knowledge. It was placed on the head of poets and commanders and was used in religious ceremonies.

The bottom of the pen bears one of Julius Caesar’s most famous phrases: Veni, Vidi, Vici, which translates to, “I came; I saw; I conquered.”

The Aurora Gaius Julius Caesar fountain pen features a rhodium plated 18KT gold nib available in wide variety of sizes.

One feature that shouldn’t be overlooked is Aurora’s unique piston filling system which provides a small reserve of ink that’s accessible by extending the piston mechanism, providing enough ink for several more pages of writing after the pen initially runs dry. An added benefit to this design is that the filling knob remains extended, acting as a reminder to refill the pen.
