Ancient Greek 5th Century BC Athena Coin 18K Gold Pendant
About the Item
An authentic ancient Greek silver "stater" coin from Thurium in Lucania (now in southern Italy) depicts the goddess Athena wearing a Corinthian helmet. This coin was minted between 433-400 BC when Thurium was a bustling Greek colonial town. Athena was associated with wisdom and handicraft, and was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which the colony of Thurium was founded. She was also renowned in war, and was often depicted wearing the crested Corinthian helmet, which in this case is pulled up over her face in a non-active, resting position. The sea goddess/monster Skylla adorns the top of the helmet. The coin, which also features a bull on the reverse, is set in a handmade multiple double scrollwork setting with similar bail. This pendant is sent with a laminated coin certificate of authenticity. The handmade hammered chain shown is not included but can be ordered additionally. It comes in 18, 20 and 24 inch lengths. We discount our chains 20% when ordered with a pendant.
